Mystery
In the second novel in the βengagingβ (Booklist) cozy library mystery series, Karen must work to clear her beauβs name after his ex-girlfriend is killed by a falling bookshelf while staying at his inn. Spunky librarian Karen Nash is back in London and planning to open a bookstore with her beau, Caldwell Perkins, who owns a B&B. Unexpectedly, Sally, Caldwellβs tall, gorgeous, and blonde ex-girlfriend shows upβpossibly to reclaim the B&Bβand just maybe Caldwell, too. Sallyβs current boyfriend, Alfredo, joins her, and they take a room. That night, Karen is awakened by a horrible crash. Caldwell isnβt in bed with her. She rushes out to the hall to find him standing in the doorway of the innβs library with a look of horror on his face. Inside the room all Karen can see is a womanβs hand sticking out from under a massive pile of pages and wood. While Sallyβs death appears an accident, Karen finds it hard to believe. How did the heavy oak bookshelf topple over? Karen fears Sally has been murdered. The detective on the case comes to the same conclusion and decides Caldwell is the most likely suspect. In order to save her boyfriend, Karen must figure out what Sally was looking for in the library and what Caldwell was doing up in the middle of the night. A story of intrigue and revenge, Death Overdue is a page-turning mystery featuring a loveable heroine who loves books almost as much as she loves her man.
