Death in the Stacks (Library Lover's Mystery #8) by Jenn McKinlay

Lindsey Norris and her staff are gearing up for the Briar Creek Library's annual Dinner in the Stacks fund-raiser. The night of dinner and dancing is not only a booklover's dream--it's the library's biggest moneymaker of the year. But instead of raising funds, the new library board president is busy raising a stink and making the staff miserable.

Although Olive Boyle acts like a storybook villain, Lindsey is determined to work with her and make the event a success. But when Olive publicly threatens the library's newest hire, Paula, Lindsey cracks like an old book spine and throws Olive out of the library.

The night of the fund-raiser, Lindsey dreads another altercation with Olive--but instead finds Paula crouched over Olive's dead body. Paula may have secrets, but Lindsey and the rest of the crafternooners know she's not the one who took Olive out of circulation. As the plot thickens, Lindsey must catch the real killer before the book closes on Paula's future . . .

Y’all asked and I listened. The third Tuesday of the month is for Library Lover’s Mysteries by @mckinlayjenn. To take part in the book club buddy read fun, please post using the hashtag #sherlockhamsters. Plus, our new buddy reading friend, Sherlock Hamster, will be there to keep you company. Isn’t he cute? I love how he came out. Him and Casey look like they should be reading and staying cozy next to one another. All the adorableness!

For all future buddy reads, we will use the hashtag #SleuthingTuesdays. I think having one for a specific buddy read series and one for buddy reads in general makes sense. I hope you think so too.

This will be a low-key add on to the book club. If you’ve already read the rest of the series or even just a few of the titles, please post and join the conversation. You don’t have to read along at the exact same time. As long as you have an interest in the series, you are welcome to join.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Happy Reading!
