From USA Today bestselling author Camilla Chafer comes a brand new mystery.Welcome to Calendar where life is sweet, but death is murder.Sara Cutler loves her job as head librarian of the public library, an integral part of the historic heart of the picturesque mountain town, Calendar. The combination of old books, quirky clientele, and endless reading is nothing less than perfection for Sara. So … perfection for Sara. So when she discovers a body in the rare books section that threatens to destroy her quiet existence, along with the imminent demise of the library, Sara vows to find the killer.
She never expects to receive any help from Jason Rees, the handsome, big city developer whose only objective is to get rid of the library. Sara assumes he is counting on the murder to serve as the final death knell his firm needs to demolish the library. However, that doesn’t prevent him from falling head over heels for the very woman with whom he’s clashing.
When news arrives that the dead woman was nothing that she appeared to be, the whole town is instantly enthralled by the concept of having an actual jewel thief in their midst. Even more puzzling is: where did she hide her stolen treasure?
All Sara must do to save the library is simply solve the murder, find the hidden jewels, and convince herself not to succumb to the one man she would rather see run out town. It doesn’t take long before she realizes that amateur sleuthing isn’t as easy in real life as it is in the stories she loves to read.

Great story. wonderful ending.
I love this series, but was underwhelmed by this first one — probably just me so don’t judge it by my reaction. I just didn’t get pulled in by the characters.
Thin plot, uninteresting characters. Predictable outcome.
I enjoyed this book – it was entertaining.
A good whodunnit.
Predictable plot, simplistic characters. A ho hum read.
Nice Cozy!
Just enough drama to make it an interesting read
Enjoyed it very much!!
I have’nt found a cozy mystery I did not like.
Great characters and fast paced.
I liked the leading characters and wish the series would continue with them. Hopefully they will show up somewhere with in the other books in this series. Or we will meet new ones that the author will develop as well as she did the ones in this first book in this new & unique series.
I started this thinking it would be a good series. A few pages in you have unnecessary language. That hasn’t really been an issue in most of the cozies I read, so I deleted it.
Love libraries. Love books. Appreciated the story centered around saving a library & solving a murder with a hint of a possible romantic triangle. A little bitttersweet thrown in. Thoroughly enjoyable.
