Series: Library Lover's Mystery #12)
First Sentence: Lindsey Norris pushed a cart full of food toward the back room of the Brian Creek Public Library. It was her turn to provide the eats for the library’s weekly crafternoon meeting.
Synopsis: Spring is livening up Briar Creek after a long, cold winter, and newlyweds Lindsey and Sully could not be happier. Even though the upcoming mayoral election is getting heated, everything else in town is coming up daffodils...until a body is found. Ms. Cole, a librarian and current candidate for town mayor, is shocked when she opens her trunk to discover a murder victim who just so happens to be a guy she dated forty years ago and the founder of the baking empire Nana's Cookies. As the town gossip mill turns, a batch of rumors begins to circulate about Ms. Cole's rebellious youth, which--along with being a murder suspect--threatens to ruin her life and her budding political career. But Ms. Cole is one tough cookie who will not go down without a fight.
Has the campaign for mayor turned deadly? It is up to Lindsey, Sully, and the rest of the crafternoon pals to see how the cookie crumbles and figure out who is trying to frame Ms. Cole for murder and why. (Goodreads)
My Opinion: I would say that this is one of the better books in the series, and I loved the fact Jenn McKinlay centered it around Ms. Cole, affectionally known as the lemon. A permeant fixture within the Library Lover’s series, but one the reader didn’t know too much about. It turns out that there is warmth in those unyielding veins, and when she is accused of murder and is also running for mayor of Briar Creek, shenanigans are bound to take center stage. And when it comes to whom was responsible for the murder, I didn’t see that one coming. There might have been clues along the way, but I missed them, which in my opinion, always makes a book more enjoyable.
