Crime & Mystery

Sleuthing is past due in the fourteenth installment of the Bookmobile Cat Mystery series by national bestselling author Laurie Cass.

A small-town bookmobile librarian and her rescue cat refuse to go by the book when an elderly patron's body is found at the bottom of a small lake.

It's winter in northwest lower Michigan, which means librarian Minnie Niswander and her cat, Eddie, are staying cozy in the bookmobile. But not everything is as it should be.

When an elderly housebound patron, Gerald Arnold, fails to answer his door, Minnie knows something is wrong. Her fears are confirmed when the police discover Gerald's body beneath the surface of a small frozen lake.

Minnie knows that the kind and cautious Gerald would never have been so careless as to fall through the ice, and she suspects foul play. But law enforcement rules the old man's death an accident, and Minnie knows she will have to take the investigation into her own hands.

As she and Eddie dig deeper, Minnie is troubled to learn that Gerald-and many of her friends-had been suspects in a decades-old cold case. Were the two murders connected? If so, it looks like justice is long overdue.

Laurie Cass grew up in Michigan and graduated from Eastern Michigan University in the '80s with a (mostly unused) bachelor of science degree in geology. Currently, Laurie and her husband share their northern Michigan home with two cats, the lovably dorky Wilbur and the nearly invisible black cat Georgie. When Laurie isn't writing, she's working at her day job, reading, yanking weeds out of her garden, or rowing.
