Books Can Be Deceiving by Jenn McKinlay

A local Caldecott Award winning author/illustrator of children’s books is brutally murdered and the local children’s librarian, Beth, his former girlfriend, is the prime suspect.  But is she the only one who wanted him dead?  As Beth and her best friend, the Library Director, dig into the victim’s past they find more questions than answers.  And then the second suspicious death occurs…

Set in a small town in Connecticut you can smell the clam chowder and feel the breeze off the Long Island Sound.  If you’re in the mood for a cozy mystery set in a wonderful place (the library!) try this one.
