Book #1 Murder on Rosemary Street
Every town has its secrets: Skeletons that tumble out of closets, rise fry crypts and even turn up in old basement vaults. For years, the mystery of the Brubaker heritage has been locked away in an underground safe at the Village Library. Now, construction of a new highway threatens to demolish the old building, causing elderly spinster, Bertha Brubaker, to investigate the contents of the vault.
When Miss Brubaker discovers clues that can help her start to unravel the tangled tale of the Brubaker dynasty, she pays the ultimate price for her discovery. Librarian, Emma Kramer, and new detective, Jake Preston, are joined by a bevy of aging eccentrics who have a double agenda: finding their friend's killer and saving the old library building from destruction. A crafty, cold-blooded murderer is on the loose, and it will take the combined wits of the citizens of Custer's Mill to make sure the killer is brought to justice.
