A diligent Dewey decimalist, Miss Wilhelmina Zukas believes
in doing everything by the book. And if that means keeping
the library open during the most blinding blizzard
Bellehaven has ever experienced, so be it! But something
more sinister than big snow transpires outside her window.
While inspecting the site he's generously set aside for the
town's new library, local billionaire Franklin Harrington is
inexplicably blown to bits! Since the surviving Harringtons are more inclined to build
pricy condos on the designated land, Helma—under strict
orders from her boss, library despot May Apple Moon—sets out
with her offbeat friend Ruth to convince the dead
philanthropist's dysfunctional clan to honor Franklin's
wishes. But delving too deeply into Harrington affairs could
prove fatal—because a murderer may be hanging off the family
tree. Then again, Miss Zukas has never been one to ignore a
juicy mystery . . . especially when there are skeletons in
the closet that could use a good rattling.
