The Librarians

"As a longtime Sherry Thomas fan, I am delighted to see her master contemporary crime after winning acclaim for international historical romances and the inventive Lady Sherlock mystery series. At the center of a plot that reads like the cozy-glam love child of Crazy Rich Asians and Agatha Christie is Hazel Lee, who relocated to Austin, Texas, after her luxe life in Singapore ended with her husband’s indictment for financial crimes and disappearance. Working at the library near her grandmother seemed like the safe second act Hazel needed, until not one, but two library patrons turned up dead. Hazel is joined by a group of intrepid librarians who investigate, trying to remove the cloud of suspicion that suddenly lingers over them. I ate this one up and can’t wait for the sequel."
