Publisher Description

In the latest Library Lover’s Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of A Likely Story, a decades overdue book puts library director Lindsey Norris hot on the trail of a cold case...
 
When the Briar Creek Public Library holds its first overdue book amnesty day—no fines for late returns—the volume of incoming materials is more than Lindsey and her staff can handle. In a bind, Lindsey drafts the crafternoon ladies to help check in and sort the stacks of books.
 
But one tardy tome catches her attention—a copy of J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, twenty years past due. When Lindsey looks up the borrower, she’s shocked to discover it was a murdered teacher named Candice Whitley, whose killer was never found.
 
Candice checked out the novel on the day she was murdered. Now Lindsey wonders if it could provide a clue to the decades-old cold case. No one noticed who brought the book back in, but could it be Candice’s killer? Lindsey is determined to catch the culprit one way or another, because justice for Candice Whitley is long overdue...

Excellent cozy mystery!

I just finished Better Late Than Never, book 7 of Jenn McKinlay's Library Lovers series. I give it a solid 4 stars. It involves a 20 year old cold murder case that gets reopened because an overdue library book is returned during the library's annual overdue books amnesty. Our intrepid heroine is intrigued when she learns that the book was checked out by the murder victim on the very day she was murdered. It's a very well done mystery and part of an enjoyable series. If you like a good cozy, you'll definitely like this!
