[Read by Mia Chiaromonte]

For fans of Miranda James and Jenn McKinlay comes an enthralling series debut featuring a librarian who solves mysteries with the help of a ghost in the stacks.

Carrie Singleton is just about done with Clover Ridge, Connecticut until she's offered a job as the head of programs and events at the spooky local library, complete with its own librarian ghost. Her first major event is a program presented by a retired homicide detective, Al Buckley, who claims he knows who murdered Laura Foster, a much-loved part-time library aide who was bludgeoned to death fifteen years earlier. As he invites members of the audience to share stories about Laura, he suddenly keels over and dies.

The medical examiner reveals that poison is what did him in and Carrie feels responsible for having surged forward with the program despite pushback from her director. Driven by guilt, Carrie's determined to discover who murdered the detective, convinced it's the same man who killed Laura all those years ago. Luckily for Carrie, she has a friendly, knowledgeable ghost by her side. But as she questions the shadows surrounding Laura's case, disturbing secrets come to light and with each step Carrie takes, she gets closer to ending up like Al.

Now it's due or die for Carrie in Death Overdue the delightful first in a new cozy series by Allison Brook.

Ah, a library mystery 🥰

Reviewed in Australia on 14 March 2019

I am a sucker for protagonists who work in a library, and this book was exactly what I was looking for. An intriguing murder mystery, a fun setting - hey, don’t knock it. Libraries are cool! - and some very relatable characters made this so much fun to read.

She’s staying with Great Uncle Bosco and Aunt Harriet

Reviewed in Australia on 11 October 2017

Carrie Singleton is back in Clover Ridge, Connecticut, spiked purple hair and all. She’s staying with Great Uncle Bosco and Aunt Harriet, who offered her a home when her own mother wouldn't. As for her father—for all Carrie knows, he might be back in jail. But it’s time to move on. The job Uncle Bosco has wrangled for her in the Clover Ridge Library is boring and makes no use of her library science degree. Besides, much as she’s grown to love her aunt and uncle, she simply can’t stay in one place very long. She’ll soon turn thirty, and she’s held five jobs in as many states. it’s time to go.

The library director’s offer to be Head of Programs and Events comes as a shock. It would mean drastic changes in Carrie’s lifestyle. No more purple hair. No more black Goth outfits. No more running carefree. She would have responsibilities. Others would be depending on her. She would have to grow up and fast.

The ghost of Evelyn Havers appears and urges Carrie to take the job. Evelyn worked in the library until her death a few years ago. At Carrie's first scheduled event, a retired homicide detective is murdered while talking about a cold case he claims to have solved. Carrie believes the two murders are linked. With Evelyn’s help she sets out to find the murderer.

Allison Brook is one author that I can't get enough of. I've read everything she has written, I think, and have enjoyed them all. When I started Death Overdue, I decided I knew who the murderer was after about 60 pages. Yep, I was wrong. I wasn't surprised when the truth finally came out, but by then I had about 6 suspects. Finishing this book has left room for many more books to come. I can't wait to read them.

Really liked the way the characters developed in a natural way. Great story that also came to a nice natural conclusion without triteness

"Death overdue" was a good read

Reviewed in the United States on 8 October 2018

I liked the way the author developed this story as it brought the reader in right away. The use of the older relatives was a good plot addition for the main character who has been left with a dysfunctional family and is trying to find her niche as a young career woman. The addition of a library lady ghost was a fun plot turn and made the story a bit different from the usual mystery. Internal library politics note than libraries are not indifferent to office intrigue.

As a devoted library fan, I also appreciated how the author - Allison Brooks - brought in some of the many functions a library now offers from lectures on current events and history to language classes, crafting groups and story telling. And, of course, as with many of the stories in this genre, there is a bit of romance with many leading male possibilities - they do not harm the story and might even enhance it a bit.

A couple of turns did not flow well for me - the attack on the co-workers' father was never well explained nor was the dispute with her over this, resolved plausibly. The threatening phone calls were said to be from a man; this issue was also left hanging.

But all in all if I could have voted it a 3.5 I would have given it a higher rating. I enjoyed the story she wove, found the characters interesting but wished for them to have been developed a bit more. Finally,, I did not solve the mystery before the ending, which to me is always the mark of a good story told well. I see that she has written another book in this series and I do look forward to reading it soon.

Fun, fast-paced, must-read for cozy lovers

Reviewed in the United States on 5 December 2017

Great series debut of the Haunted Library Mysteries by new-to-me author, Allison Brook with a great cast of characters, well-crafted and fast-paced plot in a charming small town setting. I knew as soon as I started reading that I wouldn't be able to put this book down until I read the last word.

I really liked Carrie Singleton, newly appointed head of programs and events at the local library and her dynamic with the other residents of Clover Ridge, Connecticut, especially the ghost librarian, Evelyn Havers. Carrie feels responsible when retired homicide detective Al Buckley is poisoned during a library presentation where he claims to know who murdered Laura Foster fifteen years ago. She teams up with Laura's son, Jared, to solve both murders.

I can't wait to see what's in store for Carrie in book two and hope we see a bit more of her landlord and possible romantic interest, Dylan Avery. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of DEATH OVERDUE and enjoyed it so much I purchased a copy for my Kindle.

Reading to Lighten your Day

Reviewed in the United States on 19 July 2018

Death Overdue by Allison Brook is a delightful story.

After being offered a job as the head of a department at a library, Carrie Singleton discovers there’s a resident ghost who knows things and keeps a few secrets. At an event that Carrie sets up, the guest speaker is a retired cop who wants to solve a cold case. Before he can relate new facts in the case, he dies from a poisoning.

Carrie faces a cranky co-worker, a boss whom she can’t quite figure out, and a cold case that she feels requires her attention – not to mention the murder of the cop she took an instant liking to – although this could lead to her own demise.

This book is light reading with a little humor, and I highly recommend it to mystery and cozy mystery lovers. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Entertaining cozy mystery

Reviewed in the United States on 27 August 2019

Verified Purchase

This is the first in the cozy mystery series Haunted Library Mysteries. Carrie has returned to her hometown for a visit and ends up staying to take a job at the local public library. The "haunted" part of the series originates with Evelyn Havers, the ghost of a former library employee who died in the library parking lot years ago. Carrie is the only person working at the library who can see and talk to Evelyn, who helps Carrie solve the murders of two local people. As with most cozy mysteries, the amateur sleuth, Carrie, does some rather stupid things to advance the plot. She also doesn't seem at all upset about that ghost, but instead just seems to easily accept her existence. It is an entertaining series, though, and I do enjoy stories set in libraries.
