This was the first book I read in this series and it provided romance and mystery, two of my favorites!
Amy the main character is the head of a small town library and gets involved in a murder mystery. It provides plenty of suspense and had me guessing till the end. I also found all the characters quite enjoyable!! I cant wait to catch up and read the first two in this series!

May Day in Taylorsford, Virginia means everyone in town needs to turn out to make the occasion noteworthy for tourists. Library director Amy Webber plans to have an expert explain local folklore but the festivities have barely begun when a local student disappears. Nobody is more surprised than Amy when her neighbor Richard is considered a suspect. As a librarian myself, I always enjoy reading a book with a librarian as the protagonist. This story is fun, the mystery inventive and the characters like old friends

As a bookseller and a lover of mystery novels, I always enjoy previewing authors unknown to me. The setting and the lively characters set a nice tone, but I was not expecting all the romantic entanglements with my mystery. This will likely strike big with readers who enjoy that mix, and with followers of the series.

This is the third book in the series, and it honestly just keeps getting better! Amy is in the middle of multiple mysteries around Taylorsford. Not only does she need to deal with the fact that her cheating ex is in town, mourning the death of his lover--the same woman who he cheated on Amy with--but there is also a grad student who's gone missing. Not to mention, her new love Richard is keeping something from her.
This book was fast paced, and the mystery kept me guessing up until the very end. I highly recommend this book.

Beautiful, sweet romance along with a suspenseful mystery! I loved the conflict with the parents -- so realustic! The twisted-up mysteries kept me guessing, along with being surprised as turned around into a different story. I really enjoyed this book!!

I love this series and I loved this book.
Even when Amy, the heroine, is so whiny and needy that make you wish to end her suffering :)
The plot is very interesting, it starts slowly but when it get going it keeps you hooked and you cannot put the book down. It also kept me guessing till the end.
It's interesting how the mix of mystery and women's fiction works wonderfully.
I loved the new characters and was happy to read the developments in the old one.
It was a lot of fun to read.
Highly recommended!
