Wonderfully fresh. Thoroughly enjoyable.
MISS ZUKAS AND THE LIBRARY MURDERS is the first in a series of mysteries featuring a librarian in the coastal area of Bellehaven, Washington. This book is copyrighted 1994, and the author has added about a book a year since then. A fun and fast-paced thriller with wonderful, fresh, multi-dimensional characters and delightful plot twists. Reads very quickly, making you want more! I just love Miss Zukas (her way of swearing is "Oh, Faulkner!"). This is going to be an enjoyable series! Fun, fun, fun!
Librarian/sleuth Miss Zukas
Miss Zukas, intrepid librarian, is shocked and surprised to see police cars around Bellihaven's Public Library, her place of employment. A dead body has been discovered in the Mo-Ne aisle and no one knows who or why. The body is identified, but no motive can be established. Miss Zukas is an observant person, so she puts this ability to work and begins her own amateur investigation with her friend, Ruth. Jo Dereske weaves a gently amusing plot with interesting characters to create a "cozy" in a library setting. Mystery fans will enjoy this book.
Hard to finish
I found myself continually frustrated with the stupid actions of Miss Zukas, constantly putting herself in harm's way.
