Borrowed Time

The Village Library Mysteries | Book 3

Perfect for fans of small-town Southern cozies, library settings, and an ensemble cast you'll love returning to — including Fitz the library cat.

June 16, 2020

Sometimes a weekend trip is stressful, especially if you're on borrowed time. 

Fall is beautiful in the small mountain village of Whitby, North Carolina. The leaves are changing color on the mountainsides, the sky is a bright blue, and the air is crisp. Librarian Ann Beckett's friend and coworker, Luna, has persuaded her to take a break from the library and attend a house party on the lake with her.

The modest house Ann was expecting is more of a mansion with amazing mountain and lake views and an indoor swimming pool. The other guests initially seem fun, but as time passes, tensions grow. When one of the guests is later found murdered in the pool, Ann works through the puzzle since now someone else is on borrowed time.
