Librarian
Charlie Harris has decided to audit an early medieval history
class. The professor, Cary Warriner, is handsome and charismatic.
He’s also an excellent teacher, and Charlie is happy
that he is in the class. Another student, Dixie Bell Compton,
is also an older student. though not as mature as Charlie,
and she obviously has a personal relationship with the professor.
While Charlie doesn’t know the nature of their relationship,
he did hear Professor Warriner ask her, “What the hell
are you doing in my class?”
The
next day Ms. Compton comes to Charlie’s office to ask
if he would be her study partner. Charlie gently explains
that he is auditing the class and won’t be doing papers
or exams, so he wouldn’t be helpful to her. Ms. Compton
does not attend the next class, and soon enough Charlie finds
out that she was murdered. He wonders if Professor Warriner
could be involved in any way.
As
events unfold, Charlie’s natural curiosity and logical
mind work together to help him try to catch the killer. After
another person is killed, Charlie needs to think fast before
the killer adds him to the kill list.
There
are so many things I love about this series. The laid-back
pace, the southern charm, Diesel the cat, and the relationships
of people and the animals as they continue to grow. This is
a book full of heart, and I highly recommend this latest Charlie
and Diesel mystery to mystery readers young and old. This
is a fine read as a stand-alone, but I think there is more
enjoyment to be had if you read all of the previous books.
Each of the books in this series has pride of place on my
bookshelves, and they would be a wonderful addition to any
book collection.
