When Anita Hunzeker, chair of the library board  of trustees, is run off the road and killed, no one seems all that  sorry. Anita was widely disliked, and the townsfolk would just as soon  be rid of her. But when a local professor turns up dead as well, his  connection to Anita and to other local residents leaves the suspect pool  covering the entire county.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreer starts poking around, and the  more she digs, the more it seems like everyone she knows is trying to  hide something. When she unearths a clue in the old manor cemetery, she  finally discovers the shocking truth—a cache of dark secrets stretching  back decades that could rock the town to its core. Everyone who’s come  close to the truth has ended up dead—and if Greer doesn’t tread lightly,  she could be the next librarian to get archived for good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing  nostalgic inspiration from classic girl detective mysteries, Hilliard  deftly captures notes of Agatha Christie and  Dorothy L.
