Assisting an overwhelmed insurance appraiser with the inventory, Addie discovers an 1887 magazine containing Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet, which she estimates to be worth over $150,000. But when Addie later finds the appraiser dead in the estate's private library, with the door bolted from the inside, and the priceless edition missing, it's a mystery worthy of the Great Detective himself. She's certain the death and the robbery are connected - but who, other than a ghost who can walk through walls, could have gotten in to do the deed?

Pretty good
A Tough Nut to Crack is an entertaining cozy mystery. It spends a lot time establishing the characters and setting up the mystery before the mystery becomes the focus in the book. Nicole Kandelind is the perfect narrator for this book.
