Publisher Description
When a member of an exclusive book club is checked out, spunky librarian Trudell Becket must sort fact from fiction to solve the murder.
The Cypress Arete Society is one of the town’s oldest and most exclusive clubs. When assistant librarian Trudell Becket is invited to speak to the group about the library, its modernization, and her efforts to bring printed books to the reading public, her friend Flossie invites herself along. Flossie has been on the book club’s waiting list for five years, and she’s determined to find out why she’s never received an invitation to join.
But not long after Tru and Flossie arrive for the meeting, they’re shocked to find the club’s president, Rebecca White, dead in the kitchen. Rebecca was a former TV actress and local celebrity, but was not known for being patient or pleasant. She’d been particularly unkind to the book club’s host for the evening, who also happens to be the mother of Detective Jace Bailey, Tru’s boyfriend. And Rebecca had made it clear that she didn’t think Flossie was book club material.
With her boyfriend and one of her best friends wrapped up in a murder, Tru has to work fast to figure out who cut Rebecca’s story short before the killer takes another victim out of circulation....

Book Club and Murder
Trudell (Tru) was asked to speak to an exclusive book club about the modernization of her beloved library. Tru's friend Flossie tagged along and the meeting which was being held at her boyfriend, Jace's parents' house. Shortly after arriving at the house one of the members dies unexpectedly. Tru is told to stay out of the investigation, but when her friends are the top suspects Tru has to get involved. Can Tru clear her friends before the killer decides to target her or someone close to her?
There is always something going on at the library and with Tru's cat and friends. Some of these library scenes are hilarious. Tru is a smart and resourceful female protagonist. Tru and Jace have great chemistry both in their investigation and relationship. The story is well-written and moves at a quick pace. The mystery is full of twists, turns, and surprises.
