About this listen

For fans of Miranda James and Jenn McKinlay comes an enthralling series debut featuring a librarian who solves mysteries with the help of a ghost in the stacks.

Carrie Singleton is just about done with Clover Ridge, Connecticut until she is offered a job as the head of programs and events at the spooky local library, complete with its own librarian ghost. Her first major event is a program presented by a retired homicide detective, Al Buckley, who claims he knows who murdered Laura Foster, a much-loved part-time library aide who was bludgeoned to death 15 years earlier. As he invites members of the audience to share stories about Laura, he suddenly keels over and dies.

The medical examiner reveals that poison is what did him in, and Carrie feels responsible for having gone forward with the program despite pushback from her director. Driven by guilt, Carrie is determined to discover who murdered the detective, convinced it's the same man who killed Laura all those years ago. Luckily for Carrie, she has a friendly, knowledgeable ghost by her side. But as she questions the shadows surrounding Laura's case, disturbing secrets come to light, and with each step Carrie takes, she gets closer to ending up like Al.

Easy listening to, I really enjoyed it! Love that it went for 10hrs as well. Glad there are more books to listen to after this as there was a lot of characters we were just getting yo know them by the end

The performer did well with the material she had, but the story dragged on. I like a long book but there wasn’t enough intrigue to keep it interesting

Well read but story dragged

It helped pass the time and was alright. But it is completely over the top.

And I never want to hear the phrase “you really don’t know how beautiful you are, do you?” ever again. Cringey cringe

It was fine.

I love a good cozy but this didn’t hit the mark despite the library, cat, ghost, and Halloween elements.
The romance part didn’t ring true and the ghost was under used.

Not quite hitting the mark
