Marvey, a small-town librarian, finds a mysterious list of names… and what happens next can’t be a coincidence! If you love Hallmark mystery movies, you’ll love this cozy mystery with humor, intrigue, and a hint of romance. Marvey, still adjusting to life in Peach Coast, Georgia, is at a library fundraising event when she comes across a list of four names. One is the name of someone who recently died—and who may have been murdered. Another is Spencer Holt, the handsome newspaper owner who’s become one of Marvey’s best friends. The four people appear to have nothing in common other than living in Peach Coast. Spencer dismisses the list at first, but before long, he has to admit he may be in danger. As Marvey prepares for a visit from her parents, can she, Spencer, and their intrepid librarian friends stop a killer bent on long overdue revenge?

We are visiting Peach Coast, Georgia and the library again. Marvy is working on fundraising and I was so excited to see the characters that helped her. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't say who or how, but it was a highlight of the book.
I was sure I knew what the giveaway clue was and who it was, but I was wrong. I missed the two giveaway clues and so guessed the murderer wrong. I liked the way Marvy got into the investigation without finding a dead body. The mystery and investigation were good.
The romance is progressing slowly, but I found the pieces we were given were satisfying. And it made me want to see what happens in the next book.
I listened to the audiobook. It was well done and I really appreciated it when there were Southern phrases that people said. It was good to hear them and I think it made them stand out more.
This was a great follow up to Murder by Page One.
