Carrie Singleton is about to kiss the single life goodbye. Her wedding to Dylan Avery is just a few weeks away, and a happy ending is about to be hers. But when a body is found on the lawn of their wedding venue, happily-ever-after is looking deadlier than ever.

The victim turns out to be Billy Carpenter, a young man recently released from prison after serving time for a bank robbery. The stolen money he’d buried is gone and Carrie and the police suspect Billy’s two alleged co-conspirators, his friends Luke Rizzo and Tino Valdez. But then Luke is murdered and Tino is nowhere to be found.

With no leads and only a week to go before her big day, Carrie is on the hunt for clues. She hopes to wrap up this investigation with a neat bow before she and Dylan tie the knot. Carrie has something old, something new, and something borrowed ready for her walk down the aisle.Now she needs to find the killer without becoming the ‘something blue.’

This is the Eighth book in the #hauntedlibrary mystery series. I’m so sad that this is the final book in the series!! I really wanted to see how Carrie and Dylan settled into their home and town as a married couple. Even how Carrie solved murders while being a mom! This is one of my all time favorite series and I am sorely going to miss cozy clover ridge and its mysteries! If you haven’t read this series…RUN to your local library or bookstore and start it now. I promise you won’t regret it!

Just before Carrie can Marry Dylan she needs to close out this case.

What a lovely cosy series this would be and having only got this instalment of it was just as good as a stand alone as what it would be in the series. Easy to enjoy on the light read and wonderful characters.

Booked On Murder is the 8th book in the haunted Library Series, but can easily be read as a standalone. Carrie Singleton is busy getting everything ready for her upcoming wedding when her boss insists she write an article for the newspaper about the diary she found among some old papers in the library. The diary belonged to Verity Babcock, who was hanged as a witch in 1652. Then she and her fiancee Dylan find a body on the lawn of their wedding venue. The body belongs to a man recently released from prison for bank robbery, where the money was never recovered. This was a fast paced mystery with lots of plot twists that kept me guessing until the end.

As the final book in the series, this book does a good job of wrapping up loose ends. Aside from at least one TSTL moment, Carrie is a good MC. I really liked the plot involving the discovery of a diary of a woman executed for witchcraft in the 1640s. It was an interesting glimpse into colonial America.

This was the final installment of the Haunted Library Series. Apparently it was not necessary to read the seven books before this one. The story was not thrilling, mysterious or entertaining enough to make me want to read more of this author.
The characters were very onedimensional, they lacked personality and I didn't feel any connection with them. The writingstyle was not to my liking and I will not be reading any of her books again. I would not recommend this series to my students to use in their classes.

All my opninions are my own.

#BookedonMurder #NetGalley is the eighth and final book in the haunted library series by Allison Brook.
Carrie Singleton is just days away from marrying her soul mate, Dylan Avery.
Wedding plans are in place, the honeymoon is booked, and then Carrie is asked to write an article for the newspaper about Verity Babcock, a woman who was killed after being accused of witchcraft in the 1600's.
A diary belonging to Verity was donated to the library and Carrie agrees to write the article, which stirs up mixed emotions.
While checking the venue for the wedding, Carrie and Dylan discover a dead body, and soon they are involved in a bizarre investigation that includes a bank robbery and a sinister plot.

I really enjoy this series and was sad to read that this will be the last book.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for bringing all these wonderful characters into our lives.
This is a series that I will read more than once.
