Due or Die (Library Lover's Mystery, #2)

by Jenn McKinlay

Library director Lindsey Norris must solve a murder in her cozy Connecticut hometown before anyone else is checked out for good in this Library Lover’s mystery.

Carrie Rushton, the president of the Friends of the Library, has been accused of murdering her husband. The evidence is stacking up against Carrie, but neither Lindsey nor the Briar Creek crafternoon club is buying it.
 
When a nor'easter buries the small coastal town, the police are too busy digging out the locals to investigate the murder. With the help of her crafternoon friends and an abandoned puppy they name Heathcliff, Lindsey has to solve the question of who murdered Mr. Rushton before the killer closes the book on Carrie...

Boy, I hope this book is an indication of just how great this series is going to be. I thoroughly enjoyed this book - the characters are really likeable and the writing put me in the scene almost immediately. In a lot of books I read I find myself skimming over an over-abundance of internal dialogue but Due or Die had none of that. I will admit to guessing the murderer very quickly, but not the why or the how and I liked how the whole story tied together when I got there.

While I'm a fan of both of Jenn McKinlay's series (the cupcake series) I like this one best and I hope it's a series that will be around for some time to come.
