Nina is invited to present a programme at her old university's Lit Fest. In the morning, Nina receives a phone call and she already has a feeling it's really bad news as opposed to a minor change in the day's schedule. Detectives believe her old teacher committed suicide, but Nina is convinced there was foul play because Gwyneth had plans. This is book 4, but this works as a standalone, only to know beforehand the reason Nina thrives in the investigation is because this isn't her first mystery. There is also no background behind each character, so the book is plot-driven.

Too many seemed to think that the poetess/professor committed suicide when she fell from the bell tower where she was practicing for her reading for LitFest. Nina and Steven weren't so sure. Steven was an investigative reporter before owning his own small-town newspaper and Librarian Nina has had three murders to investigate before this. Unusual setting, intriguing characters, a plot filled with twists and red herring make this a book I really enjoyed even though I had not read any of the earlier in series.
I requested and received an e-book copy from The Wild Rose Press, Inc via NetGalley. Thank you!… (mer)
