Bound for Murder
Bound for Murder: A Blue Ridge Library Mystery | Victoria Gilbert
3 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
Blue Ridge library director Amy Webber learns it wasn't all peace and love among the "flower children" when a corpse is unearthed on the grounds of a 1960s commune. Taylorsford Public Library director Amy Webber's friend "Sunny" Fields is running for mayor. But nothing puts a damper on a campaign like an actual skeleton in a candidate's closet. Sunny's grandparents ran a commune back in the 1960s on their organic farm. But these former hippies face criminal charges when human remains are found in their fields--and a forensic examination reveals that the death was neither natural nor accidental. With Sunny's mayoral hopes fading, Amy sets her wedding plans aside, says "not yet" to the dress, and uses her research skills to clear her best friend's family. Any of the now-elderly commune members could have been the culprit. As former hippies perish one by one, Amy and her friends Richard, Aunt Lydia, and Hugh Chen pursue every lead. But if Amy can't find whoever killed these "flower children," someone may soon be placing flowers on her grave.

Bound for Murder has engaging characters paired with some shady ones that keep both readers and our protagonist on our toes. A very well-written mystery with a true romance and just a bit of humor to lighten things up.

Her best friend and co worker Sunny is running for Mayor but a skeleton has been found on her Grandparents farm which use to be a commune back in the ‘60‘s. They ask Amy to contact members from the past. Amy is sucked into a murder.
Since years ago I use to work at a Blue Ridge Library too these books bring back pleasant memories. This one is my favorite of the series.

Library + Mystery = Cozy Success!
One of the more substantial cozies I‘ve read recently. The setting was quaint and the characters were engaging. This is book 4 and although I haven‘t read the first 3, the story was fine as a stand-alone. The author introduces all of the characters well without rehashing the previous plots. I will be revisiting Taylorsford, VA again soon!
To be published in Jan 2020.
