This is a new cozy mystery series and author for me. Book #1 in the Little Library Mystery series, A Most Curious Murder by Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli features protagonist Jenny returning to her hometown after a nasty divorce. She is confronted by first, the destruction of her mother’s little library, and then by something even worse…
A have just started reading, so I am not sure if the little person next door, talk of fairy houses and magic are just whimsical tie-ins to the fairy tales that are discussed, or whether this is a paranormal mystery series. I guess I’ll find out before too long! If there is any magic or real fairies, they should reveal themselves soon!
Jenny is a little tougher than your average cozy mystery amateur sleuth. She snaps, she shoves, she was a “hellion” in her teens. She doesn’t like the neighbours. She constantly refers to her sister as “the good Lisa” and prior to this hasn’t been home for five years. But she obviously still has a soft spot for those in distress, and winds up entangled in the small-town murder.
Jenny squeezed her eyes tight enough to hurt. She wiped rain from her face. Maybe, she thought, if I keep my eyes closed and click my heels, this smart-aleck kid will disappear.
Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli, A Most Curious Murder
Jenny Weston moves home to Bear Falls, Michigan to nurse her bruised ego back to health after a bitter divorce. But the idyllic vision of her charming hometown crumbles when her mother’s little library is destroyed.
The next door neighbor, Zoe Zola, a little person and Lewis Carroll enthusiast, suspects local curmudgeon Adam Cane, but when he’s suddenly found dead in Zoe’s fairy garden, all roads lead back to her. Jenny, however, believes Zoe innocent, so the two women team up to find the true culprit, investigating the richest family in Bear Falls, interrogating a few odd townspeople and delving into old, hidden transgressions — until another body turns up.
