Hayley Burke's fresh start as the curator of the First Edition Society's library in Bath, England, is about to take a rotten turn in this charming new mystery series from USA Today bestselling author Marty Wingate.

Hayley Burke's fresh start as the curator of the First Edition Society's library in Bath, England, is about to take a rotten turn in this charming new mystery series from USA Today bestselling author Marty Wingate.

Hayley Burke has landed a dream job: she is the new curator of Lady Georgiana Fowling's First Edition library. The library is kept at Middlebank House, a lovely Georgian home in Bath, England. Hayley lives on the premises and works with the finicky Glynis Woolgar, Lady Fowling's former secretary.

Mrs. Woolgar does not like Hayley's ideas to modernize the First Edition Society and bring in fresh blood. And she is not even aware of the fact that Hayley does not know the first thing about the Golden Age of Mysteries. Hayley is faking it till she makes it, and one of her plans to breathe new life into the Society is actually taking flight--an Agatha Christie fan fiction writers group is paying dues to meet up at Middlebank House.

But when one of the group is found dead in the venerable stacks of the library, Hayley has to catch the killer to save the Society and her new job.

Praise for The Bodies in the Library

Praise for The Bodies in the Library

"Engaging, suspenseful, and smart! I thoroughly enjoyed The Bodies in the Library."
--Jenn McKinlay, New York Times bestselling author of Word to the Wise

"All the best elements of a classic cozy; a charming British setting, a beautiful Georgian house, a collection of aspiring writers with a love of Agatha Christie's novels, a dead body in the library, and a reluctant--but resourceful--amateur sleuth in Hayley Burke. Engaging characters, a clever plot, and yes, there's even a cat!...I'll be watching for the next book!"--Sofie Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of A Night's Tail

"An utterly delightful mystery! Marty Wingate combines smooth-as-silk writing; a smart, funny, down-to earth sleuth; and clever plotting with a nod to the Golden Age of mystery that will absolutely captivate readers. An instantly engaging series debut with loads of potential for future installments. I can't wait to see what Hayley Burke gets up to next."--Bailey Cates, New York Times bestselling author of Cookies and Clairvoyance

"Appealing...Fans of British sleuths will appreciate the references to the classics of the genre."--Publishers Weekly
