Publisher's summary

Spring is livening up Briar Creek after a long, cold winter, and newlyweds Lindsey and Sully could not be happier. Even though the upcoming mayoral election is getting heated, everything else in town is coming up daffodils...until a body is found.

Ms. Cole, a librarian and current candidate for town mayor, is shocked when she opens her trunk to discover a murder victim who just so happens to be a guy she dated 40 years ago and the founder of the baking empire Nana's Cookies. As the town gossip mill turns, a batch of rumors begins to circulate about Ms. Cole's rebellious youth, which - along with being a murder suspect - threatens to ruin her life and her budding political career. But Ms. Cole is one tough cookie who will not go down without a fight. Has the campaign for mayor turned deadly?

It is up to Lindsey, Sully, and the rest of the crafternoon pals to see how the cookie crumbles and figure out who is trying to frame Ms. Cole for murder and why.

Didn’t guess the killer

Love when I guess early and am right but quick listen and good mystery where I did not guess. Great characters and voices by reader.

Easy listen

A light mystery with a sweet story. Allyson does a great job and the twist is great.

LOVED THIS ONE

I do love this series, but this is one of the best books in it. Lindsey, Ms. Cole, and the Briar Creek library face off with the Mayor in an entertaining story of loyalties, politics, integrity, and, of course, murder. As usual, my only regret is I finished the book all too soon. Now, the wait for our next visit to Briar Creek.

Great story with keeping with the series.

I love Jenn McKinley’s books. I have read or listened to them all a few times. The narrator is also captivating by bring the characters to life.

Best Book Yet!

I stumbled across this series by way of an audible sale where I picked up the first two books. I was immediately hooked and purchased the rest of the series and listened to them all within a week. The characters are of varying ages, ethnicities and lifestyles, making the stories more appealing to me.

I can't wait for the next installment, hopefully there'll be a birth and a campaign win for Ms. Cole.

Ms Cole’s Mayorial Run is in Danger

One liner: A librarian running for mayor is framed for murder, but who is the real murderer?

In the twelfth Library Lover’s Mystery series, Lindsay has to clear Ms. Cole as a murder suspect. Of a murder that took place in the library parking lot!

This is such a fun series. I love seeing the characters grow and form deeper relationships. In this book, we get to learn more about Ms. Cole and why she was so lemony when Lindsay came to town.
