DEATH BOOKS A RETURN second in the Scrappy Librarian Series that began with BOOKMARKED FOR MURDER
In DEATH BOOKS A RETURN, scrappy Oklahoma librarian Juanita Wills is researching a history of her small town, Wyndham, when she comes across a 50-year-old unsolved murder. The victim was a black teenager from the nearby all-black town of Bryson's Corner, and his body was found on the track at Wyndham High School. Since Wyndham was at that time an all-white town, and since the teen was killed in a brutal way, the death has obvious racist overtones. Frustrated and angry that such an awful event could have happened in the town she loves--and that the killer or killers never stood trial--Juanita delves into the old murder. But someone doesn't want the secret to come out and will kill again to prevent that.
Marion Moore Hill is also the author of Bookmarked for Murder, the first in a series featuring scrappy Oklahoma librarian Juanita Wills, and of "Bear With Me," a short story in the mystery anthology ALMOSTLY MURDER...WITH PETS. To read a sample of Bookmarked for Murder, click the "BOOKMARKED" link. To read a sample of "Bear With Me," click the "ALMOSTLY" link. Hill and the heroine of her novel Bookmarked for Murder are featured in A Second Helping of Murder, a cookbook composed of recipes contributed by various mystery writers. Helping was a finalist for the 2004 Agatha Award in Non-Fiction. Hill's recipe, "Swiss Toblerone Souffles," is a great do-ahead company dessert. Poison isn't a required ingredient.
