I always love cozies set in libraries and this is no exception. Tend to like a bit of woo-woo too - so ghosts are fine and this one is rather grandmotherly.
Carrie has been staying in Clover Ridge with her Aunt and Uncle. Rather than moving on as she has most of her life, she decides to stay and she gets a job as the programming and events director at the town library. For her first event though, the guest speaker is murdered during his presentation. He was a former detective and he was talking about an unsolved murder. Carrie feels a sense of responsibility and tries to solve the murder with the victim's son Jared.
I really enjoyed the story and characters. I had a couple suspension of disbelief moments - like a detective would have all his info on an iPad and not save to iCloud or use locate my iPad (I've seen that one work when an attorney here left his in a taxi - it makes a lot of noise and you can see ona map. Also, though I enjoyed the ghost, I am not sure how much she was a way to advance the plot without being able to get info another way.
That said, it was a very fun read and an Agatha Award Nominee.
