Crushing Crystal

By Evan Marshall

Literary agent Jane Stuart lives a page-turner when a murderer gives new meaning to the phrase buried in books and girls begin to disappear. Jane couldn't turn down her nanny's sister when she needed a place to stay. Crystal Ryerson turns out to be more than a handful. In two short weeks as the new assistant director of the Shady Hills Public Library, Crystal proves herself to be trouble no matter how you spell it. A pain. Yes. Popular. No. SMASHING Still, it's a shock when at the next meeting of Jane's book club at The Shady Hills Public Library, book shelves come crashing down and topple on poor Crystal. Who knew reading could be fatal? Detective Stanley Greenberg makes a grim discovery: the bolts on the bookcase had been deliberately removed--by someone who was at the meeting. Prime suspects line up: Crystal's Realtors, Myrtle Lovesey and Dick Stanton, the recently fired school librarian, and more. It's not as clear cut as that, thinks Jane, who suspects something else is going on. Then the body of a beautiful teenager is found in the woods behind the railroad tracks. She worked at the Library. And then two other girls go missing . . .
