Summary

Carrie Singleton is just off a hot string of murder cases centered around the spooky local library in Clover Ridge, Connecticut. She could really use a break—but no such luck, as she; Smoky Joe, the resident cat; and Evelyn, the library’s ghost, are drawn into another tantalizing whodunit.

First, a dead body is found in the basement of the building attached to the library, and it turns out to be Carrie’s fiancé’s Uncle Alec, who Dylan hasn’t seen in years. But Alec has no intention of truly checking out, and his ghost makes itself at home in the library, greatly upsetting the patrons. Carrie and Evelyn work hard to keep Alec out of sight, but what was he doing in Clover Ridge to begin with? And why was he killed?

Meanwhile, the town council, of which Carrie is also a member, is embroiled in a hot-headed debate over the fate of the Seabrook Preserve, a lovely and valuable piece of property that runs along Long Island Sound. Turn it into an upscale park? Sell it to a condo developer? Or keep it as protected land?

As the dispute rages, there’s another murder, this time involving a council member. Could the two murders be connected? And could Carrie be next on the hit list?

Good story, but could of been shorter

This is a good book series, but I have noticed that there is quite a bit of bloating, it didn't need to be this long. I would be interested to know if Allison Brook has a layout for how the story will go and if there is an overall direction for the series, because I have become invested in the characters but still feel there is a lot we don't know and this is a number of books into the saga. Mia Gaskins performance is as always fantastic, she is so likable and engaging. This story was refreshing in its setup and conclusion, I would like to see more of this!

Simple story, nicely narrated

The basic plot was well constructed and interesting. However, the story telling was repetitive, inconsistent, with unnecessary diversions.

not as good as the rest before *Spoiler*

Spents too much time on really boring topics of the nature reserve and council meetings. There is also no real mystery to be solved - the murderers were revealed just like that, as if by chance.
3 stars because I like the series and the world, but this is not as good as before.
One thing that stood out to me was when did the murderer carry out the act of sabotaging the car? if he was arguing with the victim outside the car, did he do it before they even got into an argument? If latter, what is the point of the argument at that moment? Why would you place yourself at the scene of the crime so obviously?
