Book Description:
At last, construction begins on a new library for Bellehaven, a gift of Franklin Harrington, scion of old Bellehaven money, and one of the locally famous Harrington triplets. But when a freak snowstorm hits, Bellehaven is brought to its knees. Not so Miss Helma Zukas who is at her post, dispensing library information, overseeing wayward employees, and soothing a busload of stranded gamblers.
Suddenly, an explosion rocks the snowy day, destroying the library site, killing the benefactor and a penny-ÂÂpinching city finance czar.
The snow melts but not trouble. Shockingly, Ms. Moon thrusts the new library project onto Helma. And Helma soon discovers why, uncovering secrets and shady dealings from start to finish -- secrets in the library, in the City, and in the Harrington family -- secrets worth killing for.

If you've ever worked in a library or been to a library, you will enjoy the Miss Zukas mysteries. This is the 6th in the series but you don't need to have read the previous ones to enjoy it.

Another enjoyable book in this series. Even if you don't know anything about libraries, I think you'll enjoy this book. Helma is a charming character and her friend Ruth is hilarious. I laughed out loud several times.

Miss Zukas and her library coworkers are about to get a new facility. Only a murder and some conniving elderly brothers stand in the way. Delightful as this series always is!

This was a great weekend read for me! Not only did I attend WWU in Bellingham (the book is set in "Bellehaven") and had happy thoughts about the places that Miss Zukas travels to around the town that I have also travelled to, but the characters in Jo Dereske's book are fun to get to know!

As good as, if not better than, Helma's previous adventures - looking forward to the next one!
