Librarian Faith Newberry and her friends must pinpoint a killer amid the literature-loving guests staying at Castleton Manor.
Castleton Manor librarian Faith Newberry eagerly anticipates a retreat honoring American literature from the nineteenth century, but she’s concerned when she witnesses a tense conversation between an accomplished Mark Twain impressionist and a horse-loving scholar of Bret Harte. The men struggle to bridle their contempt, and Faith marvels at how their conflict mirrors the one between the two famous writers they admire. Faith’s concern turns to alarm when one of the guests drops dead.
When the death is ruled a murder, Faith and her friends in the Candle House Book Club take the reins on an investigation, uncovering bitter rivalries and surprising secrets. Will Faith and her friends — and her clever cat, Watson — identify the murderer before tragedy strikes again? Or will the culprit remain elusive like a needle in a haystack?
This clever whodunit from Annie’s Secrets of the Castleton Manor Library series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, reading, pets, and female friendships.
