Small-town mysteries with a supernatural complication

Sherry Pinkwhistle’s work as a librarian has repeatedly brought her into contact with murders in her village. When a person close to her is killed and her cat appears to be possessed by an ancient demon, the mystery takes on a supernatural dimension. With the town’s new priest and a group of friends calling themselves the Demon-Hunting Society, Sherry faces two linked tasks: solve the murder and confront the demon. The premise brings together amateur detection, village life, and contemporary fantasy, with the library at the center of a story that expands from a murder investigation into an exorcism.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy cozy fantasy mysteries combining murder investigation with supernatural elements.
  • Readers interested in amateur sleuths and small-town settings.

Book overview

A librarian with a knack for solving murders realizes there is something decidedly supernatural afoot in her little town in this cozy fantasy mystery.

Librarian Sherry Pinkwhistle keeps finding bodies--and solving murders. But she's concerned by just how many killers she's had to track down in her quaint village. None of her neighbors seem surprised by the rising body count...but Sherry is becoming convinced that whatever has been causing these deaths is unnatural.

When someone close to Sherry ends up dead, and her cat, Lord Thomas Crowell, becomes possessed by what seems to be an ancient demon, Sherry begins to think she's going to need to become an exorcist as well as an amateur sleuth. With the help of her town's new priest, and an assortment of friends who dub themselves the "Demon-Hunting Society," Sherry will have to solve the murder and get rid of a demon.

This riotous mix of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Murder, She Wrote is a lesson for demons and murderers alike: Never mess with a librarian.
