3 posts | 4 read
When a member of an exclusive book club is poisoned, spunky librarian Trudell Beckett must sort fact from fiction to solve the murder. The Cypress Arete Society is the town’s oldest and most exclusive book club. When Trudell Beckett, the town’s spunky assistant librarian, is invited to speak to the club about the library, its modernization, and her efforts to bring printed books to the reading public, Trudell’s friend Flossie invites herself along. Flossie has been on the book club’s waiting list for five years, and she’s determined to find out why she's never received an invitation to join. When Tru and Flossie arrive early for the book club, they're shocked to find the club leader, Rebecca White, dead in the kitchen. The main suspect: Detective Jace Bailey's mother, the host for the evening. With Jace removed from the case due to the conflict of interest, Trudell must help him investigate and prove his mother's innocence in a case where nothing is as it seems.

The best one in the series so far. Tru is supposed to deliver a talk at the monthly Arete Society Book Club. Shortly after she arrives at the host‘s home, the head of the club is murdered and the host is suspected. The host just happens to be Tru‘s boyfriend‘s mother. She‘s on the search to clear his mother‘s name. At the same time a robot at the library becomes her nemesis.

There is never a dull moment at the Cypress library and this time the excitement goes on the road to Hazel Bailey‘s house but that doesn‘t mean there isn‘t craziness happening at the library too.

This is the third book in the Beloved Bookroom Mystery series. Trudell Becket, a librarian, is invited to speak at the Arete Bookclub, the town‘s most exclusive book club. She arrives early to set up and shortly after finds the leader, Rebecca, dead in the kitchen.

The mystery was pretty good. Rebecca, the victim, was not well liked so there are many potential killers. There is also an amusing subplot about a robot working in the library.
