Why read it?

1 author picked Death Overdue as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I liked the unique addition of a library ghost in this book. The main character, Carrie Singleton, is hired as a program director in the small town of Clover Ridge, Connecticut. During her first event at the library, she witnesses a murder and is later aided by the library ghost in discovering the killer. I enjoyed the mystery, the characters, and, as a cat lover, I also loved Smoky Joe, the library cat who ā€œadoptsā€ Carrie and also helps her. Great start to a fun, paranormal cozy series.
