ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

I did not realise that this was book 3 in a series when I requested it, however it can be read as a standalone (and I will go back and read the previous books)

I liked our leading lady Carrie, and the way she gets dragged (or insinuates herself into) local murder investigations, even when she really is trying not to lol

My sister is a librarian, so I could kind of picture the library workers here as some of her workmates (well, without the murderers!)

Smokey Joe is a great additional character too.

I liked the way that the author dealt with the homeless people around town and didn't make Carrie look down her nose at them, however treated them like the human beings they are.

I have to say, I am not to sad and won't miss the character who was killed off, from just this book she was unlikable, and I am sure she was the same in the previous two books.

This book gave off a smaller-town vibe (not sure if it is like that, however the relationships in the town made it feel that way).

I read this story in one afternoon, and look forward to more in the future.
