A Merry Little Murder Plot by Jenn McKinlay follows Lindsey Norris, librarian extraordinaire, as she hosts an "author in residence" event while dealing with a book banner as the director of the friends of the library. The season that becomes more complicated than she expected when they find a former friend of the author in residence Helen dead and the prime suspect is Helen. Lindsey doesn't believe Helen committed the murder and decides to help along with her crafternoon book club. 

Jenn McKinlay is a national treasure and is allergic to writing bad books and that's a fact. She proves it by writing this book which is awesome! I love revisiting Lindsey and the crafternooners because the plots are always phenomenal, I will always get a surprise on who the killer is, and I get to feel all cozy with these stories. My favorite part was Robbie and Emma's storyline that I don't want to spoil but I was laughing out loud as things got resolved. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes cozy mysteries and small towns. I can't wait to see what will happen next.
