A Death for the Records

By Ellen Jacobson

A giant ball of twine. A body in the barn. A record worth killing for.

Thea Olson is beyond excited that her grandfather's enormous ball of twine might set a world record. But not everyone in the quirky town of Why, North Dakota shares her enthusiasm.

When a body turns up in Grandpa Olson's barn, it's clear someone is willing to kill to keep the twine out of the spotlight-and Thea's grandfather is the prime suspect.

Determined to clear his name, Thea begins her own investigation, with some unexpected help from a magical chameleon who resides at the town's library. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more secrets she uncovers.

Can Thea catch the killer before another life unravels?

Murder, mischief, and a touch of magic in the heart of North Dakota.

A Death for the Records is the third installment in the North Dakota Library Mystery series. Full of humor, heart, and a hint of the supernatural, it's the perfect pick for fans of small-town sleuthing and quirky characters.
