Crafts and Life

When a stack of library materials is found at the scene of a hit and run, library director Lindsey Norris finds herself dragged into the investigation as the police try to link the driver of the stolen car to the person who borrowed the books. Before Lindsey can delve into the library's records, the victim of the hit and run, Theresa Houston, suffers another "accident" and the investigation shifts from driver negligence to attempted homicide.

A clue surfaces in the confiscated library materials that could crack open the case and it is up to Lindsey to piece it all together. But things are not as they seem in the sleepy town of Briar Creek and when the driver of the stolen car turns up dead, Lindsey, her staff and her library friends have to hit the books before the murderer gets the last word…

Phew! Jenn McKinlay has delivered another brilliant story here (with one minor niggle!)

Lindsey and her Crafternoon friends are about to settle down and chat about their book and make some bracelets, whilst everything is being set up Lindsey is looking out of the window and sees what seems to be a deliberate hit and run of the local, well liked, tennis coach.  The same car nearly knocks Charlie Peyton (her ex-landlady's grandson) down not long after and so the police are on the case.  That would seem to be the end of it, but Teresa (the Tennis coach) is then attacked in her home where she is resting up with the injuries from the first attack.

Now with this being a case of attempted murder, and then an actual murder occurring Lindsey needs to dig deep and find out what the library link is and the link between the murder and attempted murder before she or Teresa are checked out for good.
