The Last Overdue Notice: A Briar Harbor Book Club Mystery - Book Five

By Sofia Nurvale

One overdue book, two timelines, and a long-buried disappearance bring a forgotten librarian home.
A Dual-Timeline Library Cold Case with a Missing Woman, an Overdue Book, and a Maine Sleuth

Read to the edge of the frame.Turn the first page. Keep one finger in the margin. Briar Harbor is ready.

A green clothbound book returns seventy-seven years late, carrying the truth about assistant librarian Lily Crane, who supposedly ran away in 1949. Then the past acquires a fresh victim.

Pen Marsh is an editor-turned-librarian who reads people the way she reads manuscripts: for the false line, the missing word, and the silence that does not belong. Marlowe, the one-eared library cat, usually reaches the clue first.

This is a warm, atmospheric, fair-play cozy mystery with every essential clue on the page, no graphic violence, and a reader challenge before the reveal. Each volume stands on its own while contributing one word to the fifteen-book Keeper's Sentence.

Perfect for readers who want: a coastal Maine village, library and book-club clues, a clever woman sleuth, a memorable cat, gentle humor, found family, and a puzzle solved by attention rather than luck.

Bring the physical clues to your next book-club night-and see whether you can out-read the librarian.
