(First Edition Library Mystery, book 1)
Marty Wingate
"Cozy Mystery fans, rejoice! The Bodies in the Library is the first in a fresh and lovely new mystery series by Marty Wingate that checks off some of my favorite boxes: a library of rare mystery novels; a setting steeped in history; lots of intriguing characters; and a valiant cat named Bunter. The plot gently unfolds as our spunky protagonist gathers clues--with a little help from Dame Agatha and a benevolent ghost--in order to solve a rather coldblooded murder that kept me turning pages and guessing to the very end."
