 Thank you so much to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC copy of The Library Murders.

The Library Murders follow Jack and Flora as they try to uncover the identity of the murderer who struck down the beloved librarian during a crime author seminar in their small English village.

This book was like Murder She Wrote meets Father Brown in all the best ways. The cast of characters provide for loads of entertainment and red herrings, keeping you guessing all along the way as to who the real killer is. I started this book with my morning coffee and didn't put it down until it was finished. It was so well written that I could not tear myself away from it except to grab snacks and more coffee.
I look forward to following the rest of the series, and especially excited to see how the relationship between Jack and Flora flourishes.
