review 1: This author visited my library after the publication of the second book in this series, Murder in a Basket. I read both books rather quickly. Mystery is not a genre that usually calls to me, but I loved these books. I really identified with the main character, probably because like me she is a librarian and from Northeast Ohio. Aside from the mystery in this series the author's humor and ability to craft awkward situations was very appealing. A highly recommended read for cozy mystery lovers, or for those breaking into the genre. I'll follow this author's work.
review 2: This is the beginning of a new mystery series set amid the quirky personalities found in academia, a la Maggie Barbieri's "Murder 101" series, but I found the setting - a small, private liberal... more arts college campus in suburban Northeastern Ohio - irresistible, along with main character India Hayes' position as a librarian at said college (obviously, I'm an Ohioan who works at a library). It's good, entertaining fun, with a host of off-the-wall characters & a murder mystery that grabs the reader's interest. India & her endearingly offbeat family are definitely the centerpiece of the story, & a laugh-out-loud funny next door neighbor adds a light touch. less
