In the town of Taylorsville there is a library and Amy Muir is the Co-Director along with her best friend Sonny. For those who have read the first seven books, Amy is now married to Richard and they have twin girls, Nicky and Ella. Richard is a choreographer and dance teacher.
Taylorsville is hosting its first ever Winterfest. Taylorsville resident Wendy Blackstone is the chair of Winterfest. She is not a very popular person at the moment as her company Blackstone Properties has a new construction project planned that many of the townsfolk are opposed too. At the end of the first night of Winterfest Wendy is found dead.
Amy is very busy as she does have those fiver year old twins. She is also helping her husband with the yearly production of The Nutcracker all while working at the library. On top of all of that her mother-in-law Fiona has arrived for a holiday visit.
Amy loves being an amateur sleuth and. She is determines to find out who is responsible for Wendy’s murder. Amy also wonders is Wendy the start of a murder spree of just a one and done? There an only a few suspects and one of those is her brother-in-law which makes her even more determined to fine the killer and prove him innocent. The question is will she be successful?
The Blue Ridge Library Mystery series are sweet and a fun read. I also love a who done it with a bit of romance. This book is just as wonderful as the other books in this series.

I have liked her Blue Ridge librarian mystery series pretty well, so when I ran across this, I picked it up.
Maybe it's because I didn't realize until I was into it that I'd missed the first of the series. But, alas, I was not super impressed.
She does a good job of filling in the backstory necessities I presume were in Book 1, but I never really felt connected to the protagonist, Charlotte. I loved the setting -- was just at Emerald Isle and Beaufort in November. So that was very well done. But something just seemed .. missing somehow. I felt like I knew the details of the B&B's decor more than why I should care about the protagonist or the other characters, really.
However, it was a well-paced, satisfyingly twisty plot, with a few insights into darker side of the competitive world of fan fiction.… (plus d'informations)

I am liking this series more and more. This 2nd offering was well-plotted and the details were intricate without being overwhelming; well-researched without being a distraction.
Fun.
Fun.

Jane Hunter has an intriguing backstory and I like Cam Clewe, so I will probably continue with this series despite my disappointment that my vague idea going in that the mystery involved cryptic crosswords turned out to be false.
