About this listen

Daphne Marriott strolls into Clover Ridge and informs librarian Carrie Singleton that she's a psychic. But if she had foreseen what fate awaited her, Daphne would have steered clear of the quaint Connecticut town. Evelyn, the library ghost, tells Carrie that there's more to Daphne than she lets on.

The mysterious woman grew up in Clover Ridge with her no-good dad, who apparently met his end at the hands of Daphne's brother, Billy. Still, Daphne proves a welcome distraction when Carrie's overbearing mother hits town. Mom's much younger husband, Tom, is in a movie that's lensing locally, and she's there to keep an eye on him: Tom's costar, sultry Ilana Reingold, is also his ex-fiancée, and there's no denying the chemistry is still there. Soon after mingling with the moviemakers at a meet-and-greet, Daphne is found dead.

Carrie and Evelyn investigate, assisted by bushy-tailed library cat Smoky Joe. But the suspect list could overflow the library shelves. Has Billy killed another relative? Is their long-missing mother involved? Is Daphne's mean ex-husband? Carrie's sure she knows who committed the crime, but can she bind together the clues before the culprit Dewey-decimates the town?

Light hearted murder mystery

As someone who doesn’t like intense murder mysteries, this was perfect for me. It’s such a cozy book and I didn’t want it to end. I’ve listened to all four books in this series and hope there will be another one to come!

Another great installment in this series

I love the haunted library series and I love Carrie and Dylan. This story in particular combines a past murder, and a couple of present-day murders. The true murderer was not easy to figure out and there were plenty of twists and turns. Fabulous.

I enjoyed and have enjoyed this series

Sometimes you just need to step out of your normal reading to enjoy a nice book that you can listen to and enjoy for me as I am driving or listening with my patient. My patient loved this book and when I have to leave she asks me to leave my phone so she can finish it. She has loved this series

Book 4

I think this was my least favorite in the series- however I did appreciate the lgbt characters. I didn’t like how our main character went from a strong woman to someone who needs a guy with her.

Will still continue to read if new books come out as I’m invested at this point

ALWAYS ENJOY THIS SERIES

AND THIS BOOK DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I DO ENJOY HAVING ELLEN PARTICIPATE A BIT MORE, BUT I LOVE A GHOSTLY LIBRARIAN SLEUTH. NOW THE TOUGH PART BEGINS - THE WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK.

Four stars!

It has been awhile between reading the previous book in this series, and this story. I am pleased to note that I quickly remembered all the usual cast of characters. As they walked across the pages of this book.

If you love libraries, books and cozy mysteries, you are sure to enjoy this story. As always, the narration was top notch. The twist in this story was unexpected, but worked well with the plot.

Fasten your seatbelt for another great read!

Mackenzie

The plot/mystery was well thought out. However, the dialogue, especially from Carrie, definitely seems like it was written by someone much older than trying to figure out what young people would say. Super cringy in parts.
