The Bodies in the Library
The Bodies in the Library | Marty Wingate
11 posts | 10 read | 16 to read
Hayley Burke's fresh start as the curator of The First Edition Society's library in Bath, England, is about to take a rotten turn in this charming new mystery series from USA Today bestselling author Marty Wingate. Hayley Burke has landed a dream job. She is the new curator of Lady Georgiana Fowling's First Edition library. The library is kept at Middlebank House, a lovely Georgian home in Bath, England. Hayley lives on the premises and works with the finicky Glynis Woolgar, Lady Fowling's former secretary. Mrs. Woolgar does not like Hayley's ideas to modernize The First Edition Society and bring in fresh blood. And she is not even aware of the fact that Hayley does not know the first thing about the Golden Age of Mysteries. Hayley is faking it till she makes it, and one of her plans to breathe new life into the Society is actually taking flight--an Agatha Christie fan fiction writers group is paying dues to meet up at Middlebank House. But when one of the group is found dead in the venerable stacks of the library, Hayley has to catch the killer to save the Society and her new job.

Avanders Hmmm tricky tricky… still happy with all 3, but I vote for…. You know, I kinda wanna pick The Christie Curse to leave you as the tie breaker to pick your top choice 😁 But if you‘d rather me pick-pick, furreals, let me know and I can/will. 😘 2y

Such a fun mystery! For a cozy it retained a bit of that classic English detective novel feel which I wasn‘t expecting. I sort of figured the title was a parody in and of itself, but no, it was a major theme running through the book and I found it well done, and charming. #Scarathlon2022 #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick +16 pts

I read my #BookSpin! Yay me! I liked it. I didn‘t love it unreservedly, but it‘s very enjoyable, and if you like the golden age of literary mysteries you‘ll really enjoy it. The first half was a bit slow, the second half picked up. The characters and the setting are all fun. Definitely a cozy mystery; not a dark thriller, so it was a welcome break in that sense. There‘s a second book out, and it‘s on my list.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 3y

I restrained myself and only bought one book today at B&N. Another cute looking #cozymysyery about a librarian. I think I need it after Severance, When No One is Watching, and The One. Last month was NOT exactly light and fluffy.

I want to be a librarian detective. Where can I get that job? 🤔

Hayley Burke is the curator of Lady Fowling‘s First Edition Library - of women mystery writers such as Agatha Christie. Of course there is a murder in the library, a cat, a love interest...all set in beautiful Bath England. Lovely cozy mystery. Just what I needed!

This new cozy mystery series involves an irresistible combination: mystery + library + Agatha Christie (and other Golden Age mystery authors). The well-written story delivers what you expect from a cozy mystery, and I enjoyed the characters. I will definitely continue this series as new books come out, and I hope to see the main character dive deeper into the collection of mysteries that she curates.
