Greer Hogan is a librarian and an avid reader of murder mysteries. She also has a habit of stumbling upon murdered bodies. The first was her husband's, and the tragic loss led Greer to leave New York behind for a new start in the Village of Raven Hill. But her new home becomes less idyllic when she discovers her best friend sprawled dead on the floor of the library. Was her friend's demise related to two other deaths that the police deemed accidental? Do the residents of this insular village hold dark secrets about another murder, decades ago? Does a serial killer haunt Raven Hill? As the body count rises, Greer's anxious musings take a darker turn when she uncovers unexpected and distressing information about her own husband's death...and the man who went to prison for his murder. She is racked with guilt at the possibility that her testimony may have helped to convict an innocent man. And even though Greer admires the masters of deduction she reads about in books, she never expected to have to solve a mystery herself. Fortunately, she possesses a quick wit and a librarian's natural resourcefulness. But will that be enough to protect her from a brilliant, diabolical murderer? And even if Greer manages to catch the Raven Hill killer, will living with her conscience prove a fate worse than death?

      A mystery-loving librarian's sleuthing and literary name-dropping skills are tested in this first book of a new amateur detective series. Greer Hogan finds the body of her closest friend in the stairwell of the library where they work. Afraid she'll be suspect number one since it's not her first body discovery, Greer uses her research and community networking acumen to identify the killer. Narrator Madeleine Lambert effects a monotone for Greer's first-person point of view. Happily, that understated delivery is tempered by her vibrant portrayals of the rest of the quirky upstate New York community. In addition to the suspense of the story, Greer's surprising turn from cosmetics executive to public librarian adds intrigue. The depiction of the library workplace is commendably realistic.
