Fleeing a disastrous love affair, university librarian
Amy Webber moves in with her aunt in a quiet, historic
mountain town in Virginia. She quickly busies herself
with managing a charming public library that requires all
her attention with its severe lack of funds and
overabundance of eccentric patrons. The last thing she
needs is a new, available neighbor whose charm lures her
into trouble.
Dancer-turned-teacher and choreographer Richard Muir
inherited the farmhouse next door from his great-uncle,
Paul Dassin. But town folklore claims the house’s
original owner was poisoned by his wife, who was an
outsider. It quickly became water under the bridge, until
she vanished after her sensational 1925 murder trial.
Determined to clear the name of the woman his great-uncle
loved, Richard implores Amy to help him investigate the
case. Amy is skeptical until their research raises
questions about the culpability of the town’s leading
families... including her own.
When inexplicable murders plunge the quiet town into
chaos, Amy and Richard must crack open the books to
reveal a cruel conspiracy and lay a turbulent past to
rest in A Murder for the Books, the first installment of
Victoria Gilbert’s Blue Ridge Library mysteries.
