3.5

This is a 3.5 star review.  This is the first book in the series and the characters need to be more developed.  Tru is a librarian in the small town of Cypress, South Carolina.  The library is going all digital so Tru sets up a secret library in the basement where real books can be checked out. On the final moving day the Town Manager is crushed by a book shelf.  Tru sets out to solve the crime and keep her bookroom a secret.  I was able to figure out the motive and the mystery pretty early.  It was a quick read but it was just OK.  Since I really enjoy Biblio cozies I will probably read the next one.
