Bound for Murder: A Blue Ridge Library Mystery

Bound for Murder: A Blue Ridge Library Mystery by Gilbert, Victoria. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781643852430.

Blue Ridge library director Amy Webber learns it wasnt all peace and love among the "flower children" when a corpse is unearthed on the grounds of a 1960s commune. Taylorsford Public Library director Amy Webbers friend "Sunny" Fields is running for mayor. But nothing puts a damper on a campaign like an actual skeleton in a candidates closet. Sunnys grandparents ran a commune back in the 1960s on their organic farm. But these former hippies face criminal charges when human remains are found in their fields--and a forensic examination reveals that the death was neither natural nor accidental. With Sunnys mayoral hopes fading, Amy sets her wedding plans aside, says "not yet" to the dress, and uses her research skills to clear her best friends family. Any of the now-elderly commune members could have been the culprit. As former hippies perish one by one, Amy and her friends Richard, Aunt Lydia, and Hugh Chen pursue every lead. But if Amy cant find whoever killed these "flower children," someone may soon be placing flowers on her grave.
