Description
Hayley Burke's fresh start as the curator of The First Edition Society's library in Bath, England, is about to take a rotten turn in this charming new mystery series from USA Today bestselling author Marty Wingate.
Hayley Burke has landed a dream job. She is the new curator of Lady Georgiana Fowling's First Edition library. The library is kept at Middlebank House, a lovely Georgian home in Bath, England. Hayley lives on the premises and works with the finicky Glynis Woolgar, Lady Fowling's former secretary.
Mrs. Woolgar does not like Hayley's ideas to modernize The First Edition Society and bring in fresh blood. And she is not even aware of the fact that Hayley does not know the first thing about the Golden Age of Mysteries. Hayley is faking it till she makes it, and one of her plans to breathe new life into the Society is actually taking flight—an Agatha Christie fan fiction writers group is paying dues to meet up at Middlebank House.
But when one of the group is found dead in the venerable stacks of the library, Hayley has to catch the killer to save the Society and her new job.

        August 5, 2019
        Hayley Burke, the narrator of this appealing, if flawed, series launch set in Bath, England, from Wingate (the Potting Shed mysteries), accepts a major responsibility when she becomes the curator of the late Lady Georgina Fowling’s collection of first editions of women authors from the golden age of mystery. Desperate to prove her worth and revitalize the public image of the library that houses the collection, Hayley invites a group of mystery writers to hold their weekly meetings there. When the arrogant group leader is found with his head bashed in on the library floor, the police have no murder weapon and no clues. Inspired by Miss Marple in Agatha Christie’s The Body in the Library, Hayley turns amateur sleuth. Wingate focuses more on setting up the characters and a romance for Hayley than on developing the mystery, making for a somewhat muddled plot. Hopefully, the sequel will better balance the various elements. Fans of British sleuths will appreciate the references to the classics of the genre. Agent: Christina Hogrebe, Jane Rotrosen Agency.
