A small town librarian with a nose for murder can't help but keep finding bodies!

A bookish amateur sleuth gets called in to assist when a treasure-hunting club member ends up dead.

We're knee deep in code-breaking, gangster lore, modern day homicide and greed with this mystery.  Greta and her gang of librarians not only have to solve a murder but also keep their librarian convention on an even keel.  Oh...and there's the small matter of Greta's narcissistic and very married ex sauntering into town.

There are plenty of twists and red herrings to keep you occupied as the mystery unfolds. All our main protagonists are charming, likeable and involved in the story. I felt that McHenry, Greta's detective boyfriend, had a very real fear of her being hurt during her investigations and handled it pretty well.  I did have to suspend my grip on reality when the Chief of Police asked her to step in, my police staff brain just fried at that point lol! But hey ho that might be a very real thing in the USA!

Well worth a read and a great way to brush up on your prohibition era history!
