Overdue

Today's fiction post is on Overdue by Elizabeth Spann Craig. It is 244 pages long and is was self-published by the author. As it is the second novel in the Village Library Mysteries, you need to have read the first one to know who the characters are. There is no foul language, no sex, and very mild violence in this novel. The cover has Fitz the cat on it. The intended reader is someone who likes cozy mysteries. The story is told from first person of the main character, Ann. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Carmen King is a busy woman. Not only does she sit on the library board and dabble in the Friends of the Library, but she juggles quite a few relationships at once. Apparently, this doesn’t go over well with at least one of her boyfriends—Carmen is found dead at the bottom of the library staircase.
Librarian Ann Beckett not only finds Carmen’s body, but finds herself entangled in Carmen’s mysterious death as she sets out to learn why Carmen’s death, from the killer’s perspective, was overdue.

Review- A cute second volume in a cute cozy series. The mystery is good but I guessed the killer before the end. The library setting is fun. The best thing about this volume is the character growth of the secondary characters. We get more with them than the first volume and they have started to become more than just background for Ann and the mystery. A good read and I am interesting  in reading more. 

I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this novel from my local library.
