The Library of Lost Lies: A Cozy Mystery of a Librarian and a Lethal Late Fee: Some stories are overdue for justice...

📚 Small-town librarian Eliza Page believes in order, quiet, and the Dewey Decimal System—until the day the library's most difficult patron is found dead in the rare books room, pinned under a fallen bookshelf with an overdue copy of "Crime and Punishment" clutched in his hand. The police call it a tragic accident, but Eliza notices the books are shelved out of order and the due date stamp reveals a pattern only a librarian would understand. With the library's funding threatened by the scandal, Eliza must check out her own investigation. Assisted by the library's tech-savvy page and a handsome local historian, Eliza discovers the victim was researching the town's founding family and had uncovered a secret that someone would kill to protect. From coded messages in checkout records to hidden documents in book jackets, every clue is buried in the library's peaceful stacks. But as Eliza gets closer to the truth, the killer sends a chilling message by leaving a bloodstained bookmark in her desk—and suddenly, this librarian's quiet life is anything but overdue.
