Now You Sesame, Now You Don't: A Newfound Lake Cozy Mystery

By Virginia K. Bennett

When the town librarian is an avid mystery and true-crime reader, the local law enforcement must need a book-smart assistant like her, right? The 'Father and Daughter Valentine Dance' at the Community Center is a sentimental event in the middle of the cold winter months around Newfound Lake. Rebecca Ramsey, the town's librarian, volunteers to decorate for the dance and work at the refreshment table, which happens to have an ideal view of the Community Center's gymnasium. Her Chief-of-Police boyfriend, Kenny Towne, takes his daughters to the dance, creating a core memory for the girls. Part of the nostalgic event involves the opportunity to watch the magician, Preston the Prestidigitator, perform his close-up magic tricks. When the illusionist disappears and never reappears, Rebecca is the one to uncover his hiding spot, and his condition doesn't appear to be voluntary or reversible. Preston's presence will be missed in the Lakes Region, and Rebecca is determined to reveal the truth. Will Rebecca and Kenny get to go out for the perfect Valentine's dinner, or will their opportunity for a dream date vanish like the magician's killer?
