Jenn McKinlay comes to us in hardcover with her sixth
Library Lover's Mystery. Librarian Lindsay Norris is
delivering some
books to two reclusive brothers, Stewart and Peter. She is
always met on
the dock by Stewart, until today. When Stewart fails to
show
up,
she and Sully enter the house looking for him and Peter.
They discover Peter dead, and the house and parts of the
island
have been booby-trapped to prevent
people from bothering them. When the police arrive, the
chief falls victim to one of the traps and breaks a leg.
With Stewart missing, Lindsay is determined to find the
killer. She is convinced Stewart is the next
potential victim. The police chief and Lindsay have a
somewhat contentious relationship. Lindsay keeps getting
in the way of the police, but since the police chief is in
a
wheelchair, Lindsay allows her imagination free rein.
She nearly gets several people killed as she tries to get
Stewart to a safe place.
Ms. McKinlay is an extremely talented writer. Her
characters really make A LIKELY STORY, and all the books in
the
Library Lover's Mysteries come alive to keep
readers coming back for more. The Library Lover's
Mysteries are always entertaining. Reading these books
makes me wish, I had more time to hang out at the library
hoping to meet some of the secondary characters, although
the
attitude of one of the librarians
will keep the reader baffled about how someone can be so
sour all the time. One of
my favorite parts of this series is watching two men
fight over Lindsay's affections and her reactions to
the gallantries. A LIKELY STORY will keep the reader
guessing
the identity of the killer from the beginning until the
reveal.
A new hardcover in the Library Lover's mystery series
from the New York Times bestselling author
of On Borrowed Time. Small-town librarian
Lindsey Norris must solve a murder and a missing person's
case involving two reclusive brothers.
NOT
HIS
BROTHER'S KEEPER
