The author of the New York Times bestselling Cat in the Stacks series is back with more Southern charm and beguiling mystery as Charlie Harris and his cat Diesel must find a killer in a room full of librarians... Charlie is stressed out. The Southern Academic Libraries Association is holding this year's annual meeting at Athena College. Since Charlie is the interim library director, he must deliver the welcome speech to all the visiting librarians. And as if that weren't bad enough, the keynote address will be delivered by Charlie's old nemesis from library school. It's been thirty years since Charlie has seen Gavin Fong, and he's still an insufferable know-it-all capable of getting under everyone's skin. In his keynote, Gavin puts forth a most unpopular opinion: that degreed librarians will be obsolete in the academic libraries of the future. So when Gavin drops dead, no one seems too upset... But Charlie, who was seen having a heated argument with Gavin the day before, has jumped to the top of the suspect list. Now Charlie and Diesel must check out every clue to refine their search for the real killer among them before the next book Charlie reads comes from a prison library...
Miranda James' novel, _Twelve Angry Librarians_ (2018) is the eighth book in her Library Cat mystery series, and one of the best books in that series. Aside from Diesel, the Maine Coon Cat, and his amiable human master, Charlie Harris, the novel features a host of suspect librarians. They are angry because of past association with a thoroughly obnoxious librarian who bites the dust at a library banquet. James keeps the solution to her mystery well concealed until the penultimate chapter. But I must say that her solution is both logical and _right_. Highly recommended.
