Description
Bitsy Howell, children's librarian at Tinker's Cover (Maine) Library, dies just before story hour starts. As the only people with access to Bitsy's office, two library board members, including sleuthing mom Lucy Stone, quickly become murder suspects. That's bad enough, but when Lucy's good friend is murdered and her family imperiled, it's time to investigate. This fifth Lucy Stone novel has a strong opening, light humor, vivid Maine landscapes, and a cast of generally sympathetic characters, despite some slightly stereotyped librarians. Meier weaves into her nimble plot some good insights on lotteries, rural poverty, computers, and library operations, and she avoids the cliches that often plague portrayals of spunky New England moms.
