2025 book 71

 Jan Jones’ A Body in the Library

I saw someone online recommending this the other day, and I thought the Agatha Christie title tribute was a good sign. This was a super solid cozy mystery set in a small British town, complete with a young widowed librarian heroine (yes, a body does turn up in her library) solving the crime with the help of her handsome neighbor (who is cousins with the officer investigating the case so it makes some sense for a change). I did guess the solution and did think that (and the romance) wrapped up a little too quickly, but I totally enjoyed this and will be reading the next one. Fingers crossed the cool local lesbians will be featured more prominently! A-.
