Past Due for Murder: 09/11/19

Past Due for Murder

Past Due for Murder by Victoria Gilbert is the third in the Blue Ridge Library mysteries. After a long hiatus, the town has restarted the local May Day celebration. To start off the event, the library hosts a story night which includes the tale of two girls being lured away by faerie lights.

The event, though, ends on a sour note when the guest speaker openly accuses Amy's ex-boyfriend of stealing her research for a piece of music he wrote some years back. Then in short succession, the speaker's intern goes missing in the woods, and then the speaker herself is found murdered in the woods.

Like the previous books, Past Due for Murder includes multiple mysteries — the modern day murder and disappearance, a recent hit and run death, and the much older disappearance of the two girls. All of these mysteries are related and intertwined. How they are is what makes this book such a compelling read.

The fourth book is Bound for Murder and will be released January 7th, 2020.
