The Library Detectives - Murder They Read (The Library Detectives, Book 1): Unabridged edition

By M. R. G. Davies, Reader to be announced

A locked library mystery where sometimes the murder is stranger than fiction…

Nothing is deadlier than angry readers … especially when you murder their librarian.

When beloved librarian Felicity Penman’s body is discovered slumped between the Murder and Mystery shelves, the four members of the library’s reading group immediately spring into action. They are determined to deploy all the skills they’ve gleaned from reading literary detective classics to embark on a real-life hunt for the killer.

The police say they are handling it, but who better to solve the case than a team of murder-mystery superfans? But as secrets and suspicions begin to overwhelm them, will the amateur sleuths find the culprit before they strike again…
