Right in time for the holidays, comes Allison Brookβs second Haunted Library mystery, a perfect present for readers of Jenn McKinlay and Leslie Meier.
Twenty million dollarsβ worth of missing gems bring Carrie Singletonβs long-lost and larcenous dad back into her life and itβs up to Carrie to clear his name.
A devoted dad is as precious as diamonds, but Carrie Singleton wouldnβt know since her dad Jimβs been on the lam most of her life. In an unusual family reunion, she finds Jim breaking into her cottage in the middle of the night. The fun really starts when he begs her to help him recover his half of a twenty-million-dollar gem heist he pulled off with the local jeweler, Benton Parr. When she refuses, Jim takes off again.
Carrie finds her father again behind bars for the recent murder of Benton Parr. Who made the connection? Unbeknownst to her, Carrieβs boyfriend Dylan, an insurance investigator, has been searching for the gems. Determined to find the jewels herself, she starts examining every facet of Parrβs life. She turns up a treasure trove of suspects, one of whom bashes her on the head as sheβs searching the victimβs country cabin.
Retreating to the quiet confines of the library where she works, Carrie watches as Smokey Joe, the resident cat, paws at a hole in the wall. Is he after the libraryβs ghost Evelyn, or something shinier? The second charming Haunted Library mystery by Allison Brook, Read and Gone will be a delight for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Leslie Meier.
