A group of four staff members from a local Austin public library branch have secrets and are caught up in a murder investigation due to their relationships with the two murder victims. As a public librarian, I found this book to be a fun read.

Sometimes a workplace isn’t just a workplace but a place of safety, understanding, and acceptance. And sometimes murder threatens the sanctity of that beloved refuge....
In the leafy suburbs of Austin, Texas, a small branch library welcomes the public every day of the week. But the patrons who love the helpful, unobtrusive staff and leave rave reviews on Yelp don’t always realize that their librarians are human, too.
This book was a delight to read. I haven't read any other books by Sherry Thomas, but this was a good first book for me to read by her. She have complex characters and a great mystery.
