Lucinda Beckwith Long, the mayor of Athena, has donated a set of Civil War-era diaries to the archives of Athena College. The books were recently discovered among the personal effects of an ancestor of Mrs. Long?s husband. The mayor would like wonder-librarian Charlie to preserve them as a part of the Long family legacy. This is no ordinary archiving project though, as what Charlie discovers could seriously impact both the upcoming mayoral election and her own livelihood.

When the mayor donates the recently discovered American Civil War diaries of her husband's great x 3 grandmother to the archive, an academic and a journalist are both very keen to get their hands on them. A storm in a teacup until the diaries are stolen from Charlie's office and the academic is killed in a hit-and-run.

Another fun read which doesn't tax the brain. And the bonus short story is sweet.

Great, captivating story. I felt like one part of the mystery wasn't explained 100% to my satisfaction but I loved the story so much I didn't care in the end.
