Overdue or Die

Carrie Singleton has a wedding to plan, a killer to catch, and a conspiracy to uncover in this charming seventh novel of Allison Brook's “Haunted Library” mysteries.

Carrie Singleton has more than her fair share on her plate: Running the Clover Ridge Library, preparing for her wedding to Dylan Avery, and hoping that the nearby art gallery doesn't steal away one of her part-time employees. But a chance meeting with Victor Zalinka, art collector and successful businessman, changes everything. He happens to have a house that would be a perfect wedding venue, and he even tells her she can handpick paintings from his collection for an art show at the library. However, all these plans are put on hold when the dead body of Martha Mallory, one of the owners of the art gallery, is found.

With the assistance of the sleuthing library ghost Evelyn, the resident cat Smokey Joe, and even Dylan's private investigation company, Carrie quickly makes a suspect list that would rival the size of any encyclopedia. But during her investigation, Carrie stumbles across a terrible truth: Martha's murder was part of something far bigger, and far more dangerous, than she could have ever imagined. And it all leads back to the art gallery.

How far will Carrie go to find the killer and uncover the truth? If the killer finds her first, will Carrie finally be taken out of circulation?
