Book 27, 2015
Apr. 28th, 2015 06:29 pmFriday or Saturday, I finished reading Borrowed Crime by Laurie Cass. This is the third book in her delightful "Bookmobile Cat" mystery series.
Minnie, the Assistant Director of the Chilson County library and pilot of the bookmobile, is in a quandary. Funding for the bookmobile hasn't come through as planned, and she is afraid she'll have to put her pet project to bed. Minnie is also afraid of her boss learning that she takes her cat Eddie along on the bookmobile. Eddie has become quite the ambassador for the library, and the patrons all love him. However, Minnie has bigger trouble on her hands when one of the bookmobile volunteers is shot and killed at a stop on their route. Now, the man's sister is threatening to sue the library for negligence in what was originally thought to be an unfortunate hunting accident. When Eddie begins to unearth some clues, Minnie starts to suspect the man was murdered, instead. With her boss breathing down her neck, it's up to Minnie and Eddie to solve the case before anyone else checks out for good.
Best line of the book: I stood in front of the freezer section--ice cream wasn't on the list, but it never hurt to look...
Ha ha! A woman after my own heart.
I adore these cozy mysteries, and I know I'll be snapping up the next one to be released.
