Genre: Mystery
A
retired librarian gets back to the books—and into a devilish murder
case—in acclaimed author Victoria Gilbert’s new series, the
perfect literary adventure for fans of Kate Carlisle and Jenn
McKinlay.
Sixty-year-old
Jane Hunter, forced into early retirement from her job as a
university librarian, is seeking a new challenge to keep her spirits
up and supplement her meager pension. But as she’s about to
discover, a retiree’s life can bring new thrills—and new
dangers.
Cameron “Cam” Clewe, an eccentric 33-year-old
collector, is also seeking something—an archivist to inventory his
ever-expanding compendium of rare books and artifacts. Jane’s
thrilled to be hired on by Cam and to uncover the secrets of his
latest acquisition, a trove of items related to the classic mystery
and detective authors. But Jane’s delight is upended when a body is
discovered in Cam’s library. The victim, heir to a pharmaceutical
fortune, was the last in line of Cam’s failed romances—and now
he’s suspect number one.
Cam vows to use his intelligence
and deductive skills to clear his name—but with a slight case of
agoraphobia, rampant anxiety, and limited social skills, he’ll need
some help. It comes down to Jane to exonerate her new boss—but is
he truly innocent?
