Overdue

Ahhh, what a satisfying YA mystery thriller! I had so much fun reading this one that I despised having to put it down at all.

Something's amiss when Kathleen takes over Ms. Finchs's librarian spot while she goes off to a seminar. The library cannot stay quiet, and it's not due to a noisy bunch of patrons. Someone is stalking the library, stalking Kathleen. . .but whoever it is doesn't stay within the building's confines.

It starts with the weird clues left everywhere Kathleen goes--books. very specific books left at each crime scene.

Cusick does a clever job of using the library and books in creative ways to draw us into this tangled web of suspense. I thought I knew who the villain was, I was so sure, but I was so wrong. Never have I read such a GREAT TWIST!

If you like deepening mysteries with tightening suspense around every corner and down every aisle, pick this one up!
