Mystery

Skye and Wally's plans are all set for a Christmas wedding. Skye has everything under control when the substitute librarian is found dead. Wally and Sky's attention will be split between wedding plans and finding a killer quickly. As they examine the victim's life, they discover that she had strong opinions on what was right and didn't hesitate in expressing those views. That behavior may have been what made her so unpopular in some quarters and even have lead to her demise. As good as this mystery is, it was hard not to pay more attention to the upcoming nuptials than to keep track of the potential killers as we watch the investigation go right to the wire. Wally and Skye's life is tightly packed as they accomplish everything that needs to be done before the ceremony with the investigation that Wally can't leave with his deputies. Wally is keeping his honeymoon plans secret while Skye focuses on the wedding plans. With her resident ghost keeping their amorous activities limited in Skye's home and the shenanigans of the townspeople, MURDER OF A STACKED LIBRARIAN is a wonderful book to start off the holiday season.

SUMMARY

There’s no place like Scumble River at Christmastime, and this year, school psychologist Skye Denison has twice as much to celebrate—and to do. In addition to the usual holiday frenzy, Skye’s wedding to police chief Wally Boyd is less than a week away—that is, if the groom isn’t too busy working to attend. The town’s sexy new librarian, Yvonne Osborn, has just been murdered, and the list of suspects is piling up faster than late fees on an overdue book. Yvonne’s strict sense of right and wrong annoyed some townspeople and infuriated others. Did her high standards lead to her death? Skye is distracted by worries about what havoc the crazy Dooziers will wreak on her wedding day and whether she’ll fit into her dress. But Skye can’t afford to leave any page unturned because unless she works quickly to expose the scheming killer, her happy ending may be put on permanent hold...
