Locked Library." It's one of 6 in a series called "A Book Retreat Mystery." When I looked up the author she has written books in 7 different series and standalone books, too. She's also an award-winning author.
I enjoyed this story very much. Storyton hall is a resort for people interested in books, and Jane is the proprietor. She has two young enthusiastic sons, and there are many employees who help her run the business. There are a number of characters in the book, but they don't distract from the plot of finding a skeleton buried with a book on the property. That mystery and the ancient death ties into a current death at the Rare Book Conference being held at Storyton. Getting to know the characters was a little slow in the beginning but once the author got into the mysterious findings, the book was pretty captivating. It ended with another mystery, so I'll be looking for the next in the series. - Rob
