Beyond a Shadow of a Sprout
(2026)(Book 33 in the Newfound Lake Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Virginia K Bennett
When the town librarian is an avid mystery and true-crime reader, the local law enforcement must need a book-smart assistant like her, right?
When February rolls around, most people are looking forward to Valentine’s Day, but the town’s librarian, Rebecca Towne, is thinking about going out for a double date on Groundhog Day instead. With a month of library fundraisers in her future, the first is being hosted by The Steadfast, a local restaurant Rebecca and her police-chief husband enjoy. They’re going out with Mary, a widowed library volunteer, on her first date in decades. It’s not like anything bad can happen on Groundhog Day.
With not one, not two, but three medical emergencies popping up throughout the first week of February, Rebecca is beginning to feel like she'''s living in a movie, and not one she wants to see over and over again. But a question begins to surface: Are these events connected?
Will Rebecca be able to predict a reason for all the chaos, or is it possible that some deeper danger lurks, burrowed, hoping to stay in the shadows, never to see the light of day?
