Between 3 and 4 stars. A good start to a series but it lagged in parts, I think to set up the main character more. Some aspects seemed to jump ahead without being laid out (the "romance" between Carrie and Dylan being one. He rents the cottage to her and then takes off on a trip for several weeks and when he comes back they have Thanksgiving dinner and suddenly they're dating? What?)

The plot revolves around a cold case murder of a woman and the fatal poisoning of the original case's detective as he is poised to reveal the name of the killer, and was riveting. Carrie fumbles her way through an investigation, with the help of a ghost of Evelyn, a former library employee who died at the library a few years before. I enjoyed Evelyn's input, not only on the case but also helping Carrie to adapt to her new position.

Overall, a great debut and I look forward to reading more of this series.
