Can Thea nab the killer before they strike again?
Review: Life in the small town of Why, North Dakota is quiet, quaint, and murderous. Thea Olson volunteers at the local library and is helping with the annual book fair. It helps that the director is handsome and sweet. Yet when the most infamous book collector in town dies, Thea is convinced it's murder. With the help of her grandmother and the cute director, she investigates the tangled web surrounding the death and may end up a target herself.
This is the second book in the fantastic cozy mystery series, the North Dakota Library Mysteries. I was so happy to be back in Why with Thea and her family. It's a lovely little town where everyone knows everyone else's business, but there are still secrets. There's a marvelous cast of characters, each with their own quirks. Plus there's the bison who hangs around downtown looking for scratches. I want to hug him! In this book, the town is voting on his name. I love the one that was chosen!
Thea is sweet and determined, and her library guardian makes me laugh every single time. She needs to get him more hot dogs! I really like the idea of generations of librarians having guardians, even if Thea isn't officially a librarian. I'm also a big fan of Hudson. He's nerdy, sweet, and just perfect for Thea. The mystery had me wondering until the end. Every suspect could have been the one. This is a wrap-me-in-a-warm-blanket, light-hearted, wonderful read.
