Carrie Singleton and Evelyn the ghost sleuth the slayings of a starlet and a star-crossed psychic in Agatha Award nominee Allison Brook's fourth Haunted Library mystery.
Daphne Marriott strolls into Clover Ridge and informs librarian Carrie Singleton that she's a psychic. But had she foreseen what fate awaited her, Daphne would have steered clear of the quaint Connecticut town. Evelyn, the library ghost, tells Carrie that there's more to Daphne than she lets on.
The mysterious woman grew up in Clover Ridge with her no-good dad, who apparently met his end at the hands of Daphne's brother, Billy. Still, Daphne proves a welcome distraction when Carrie's overbearing mother hits town. Mom's much younger husband, Tom, is in a movie that's lensing locally, and she's there to keep an eye on him: Tom's costar, sultry Ilana Reingold, is also his ex-fiancée, and there's no denying the chemistry is still there. Soon after mingling with the moviemakers at a...]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2020 16:10:14 +0300 https://graycity.net/allison-brook/725691-death_on_the_shelf.html https://graycity.net/allison-brook/725691-death_on_the_shelf.html
Librarian Carrie Singleton sleuths a murder at her best friend's wedding in Agatha Award nominee Allison Brook's fifth Haunted Library mystery.
Clover Ridge librarian Carrie Singleton is thrilled to attend her best friend Angela's wedding, but Angela's family can be a bit...much. Cousin Donna hosts the bridal shower at her resplendent home, but Donna's surgeon husband, Aiden, spends a bit too much time with cousin Roxy. Later at the wedding reception, the sweet occasion turns darkly bitter when Aiden topples into the chocolate fountain—dead.
The suspect list is as long as the guest list, and as difficult to sort out as the seating chart. A few of the top contenders are Roxy, emotionally unstable since her recent divorce; Angela's brother, who feels Aiden betrayed him; and Roxy's ex-husband, Miles. Even Donna may have had reason to want her husband dead. Worse, Carrie reluctantly adds the bride and groom to the list.
At Aiden's wake, Carrie discovers that he...]]> Sun, 24 Jan 2021 07:35:44 +0200 https://graycity.net/allison-brook/725690-dewey_decimated.html https://graycity.net/allison-brook/725690-dewey_decimated.html

But Alec has no intention of truly checking out, and his ghost makes itself at home in the library, greatly upsetting the patrons.

Meanwhile, the town...]]> Mon, 24 Jan 2022 07:35:42 +0200 https://graycity.net/allison-brook/725689-out_of_circulation.html https://graycity.net/allison-brook/725689-out_of_circulation.html
