Murder Of A Stacked Librarian by Denise Swanson is the 16th book in the “Scumble River” mystery series. Publisher: Obsidian, September 2013
There’s no place like Scumble River at Christmastime, and this year, school psychologist Skye Denison has twice as much to celebrate—and to do. In addition to the usual holiday frenzy, Skye’s wedding to police chief Wally Boyd is less than a week away—that is, if the groom isn’t too busy working to attend. The town’s sexy new librarian, Yvonne Osborn, has just been murdered, and the list of suspects is piling up faster than late fees on an overdue book.
Yvonne’s strict sense of right and wrong annoyed some townspeople and infuriated others. Did her high standards lead to her death? Skye is distracted by worries about what havoc the crazy Dooziers will wreak on her wedding day and whether she’ll fit into her dress. But Skye can’t afford to leave any page unturned because unless she works quickly to expose the scheming killer, her happy ending may be put on permanent hold.
Will the recent murder interrupt their wedding day? Will they get to the church on time? That’s what you’ll find in between the page in this delightfully entertaining read. I’ve been reading this series since the beginning and the road to this final culmination was filled with excitement as Skye prepares for her wedding while helping the PD solve the murder of the librarian. This was a well-written whodunit that quickly became a page turner as I had to see how it was all going to end. The whole gang was here that included her best friend Trixie and of course her mother May. This was the best book in this wonderfully crafted series and I can’t wait to see where the next adventures begin.
This looks like an awesome read and your title is BRILLIANT! It grabbed my attention, made me smile, and let me right to the bookstore to check it out. Um…that was a little librarian humor there…check it out? Can’t wait to read it. (And the fact that two of your characters names appear in my books was pure kismet.)
Write On!
This is a fun series. I’m a couple of books behind but intend to catch up soon!
I know that ANY book written by Denise is going to be a great read with all the previous books being wonderful. I have not gotten to order Murder of a Stacked Librarian yet, but want to order it to give to a friend of mine who IS a librarian in the town in which I grew up. Thank you to Dru for the interview and thank you to Denise for the giveaway. I would love to be the recipient of this book since I need to get two copies of this particular one in the series. Winning one of them would be awesome. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work, Denise; and I will be looking forward to trying to figure out which Dragnet series inspired an upcoming book too. 🙂
This is an all-time favorite series!! Love it, love it.
Can’t wait to read it! I’ve only read a couple in the series so far–that just means there’s a lot of fun in my future!
I love it when the main characters in a long running series finally get married.
Would love to win this!
I just finished reading this and loved it.
