Crushing Crystal
Overview
Literary agent Jane Stuart couldn't say no when her nanny’s sister needed a place to stay, but
she’s certainly glad to see her houseguest go. In just two short weeks as assistant director of
the Shady Hills Public Library, Crystal Ryerson has proven herself a meddler par excellence.
Relying on gossip and a powerful superiority complex, she has branded her Realtor’s daughter
an unfit mother, and accused a local school librarian of stealing computers. Popular, she is not.
Still, it’s shocking when the next meeting of Jane’s library reading group crashes to a halt as
thousands of pounds of books and shelves come toppling down on poor Crystal. Especially when
it’s discovered the bolts on the bookcase had been deliberately removed.
Crystal’s Realtor, Myrtle Lovesey, and the recently fired school librarian, Dick Stanton, are
prime suspects. Both were at the library that night. But things seem murkier to Jane,
especially after the body of a beautiful teenager who worked at the library is found in the
woods behind the railroad tracks, and two other girls go missing.
Jane knows the strange events are all part of the same puzzle—and she can't resist searching
for the missing pieces. Somehow, despite the distraction of trying to keep her diva clients'
claws out of each other, she manages to stay on the murderer’s trail. But a trail can go both
ways, and this one may well lead the killer right to Jane's doorstep . . .
