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.

Now it’s due or die for Carrie in Death Overdue the delightful first in a new cozy series by Allison Brook.

Carrie Singleton is considering leaving Clover Ridge when she gets offered the job of head of programs and events at the local library. When the guest speaker at her first event, a detective who claims to have new evidence about an old murder case, is poisoned, Carrie feels responsible. With the ghost of a former librarian as an ally, she decides to find the guilty party.

I found this book to be a perfect pre-Halloween read. Full of books, ghosts, murder, and mayhem, it’s a fun cozy with a good plot and a likable heroine. Cozy fans should really enjoy this start to a new series.
