Crafts and Life

Carrie Singleton is just about done with Clover Ridge, Connecticut until she's offered a job as the head of programs and events at the spooky local library, complete with its own librarian ghost. Her first major event is a program presented by a retired homicide detective, Al Buckley, who claims he knows who murdered Laura Foster, a much-loved part-time library aide who was bludgeoned to death fifteen years earlier. As he invites members of the audience to share stories about Laura, he suddenly keels over and dies.

The medical examiner reveals that poison is what did him in and Carrie feels responsible for having surged forward with the program despite pushback from her director. Driven by guilt, Carrie's determined to discover who murdered the detective, convinced it's the same man who killed Laura all those years ago. Luckily for Carrie, she has a friendly, knowledgeable ghost by her side. But as she questions the shadows surrounding Laura's case, disturbing secrets come to light and with each step Carrie takes, she gets closer to ending up like Al.

Carrie Singleton is thinking about heading off from her home town of Clover Ridge when she is unexpectedly offered the post of Head of Programs and Events at the local library (a job she is qualified to do, much to the annoyance of the reference librarian who has no skills in that area but nonetheless thought the job should be hers!), at the prompting of a local ghost (actually a previous library aide who died at the library) she accepts the job, but tragedy strikes at her first event when the retired detective keels over and dies during his presentation, and although that would be bad enough it appears that someone at the event didn't want him re-opening the wounds of an old case which was never solved.  So Carrie, in order to save her reputation and the reputation of the Clover Ridge library, starts digging around the old case of the death of Laura Foster and this new case of the death of Al Buckley.  

She needs to keep on her toes though or she will end up being checked out of the library system, permanently!
