Book Review: ‘Murder Checks Out: A Blue Ridge Library Novel’ By Victoria Gilbert

It’s Christmastime in the Blue Ridge mountains, and for Amy Muir, who is the library director, it’s a busy time. Her dancer husband Richard has a new production of The Nutcracker ready to go, with roles for their twins. The winter festival is going on, her mother announces that she’s coming for a visit, and local resident, Wendy Blackstone is found dead, and a lot of people did not like her. There are any number of suspects, including Ethan, her brother-in-law, as she was seen arguing at the festival with people protesting her real estate deal. Then Ethan goes missing, and becomes the prime suspect, and Amy will do what she can to clear him, and find the real killer. When she starts to get too close, her life is in danger, and she may not survive the holiday season. Fans of these small town murder mysteries will like the eighth book in the series, as will fans of this series.
