She is finding new joy in life with family, and her faulty yet loveable friends in the Half Reads Book Club. When Rutley's retired dentist is found murdered in the library, this unlikely bunch of fun-loving readers jump at the opportunity for excitement and a good mystery. Then they discover that a young woman out for a run is missing and soon kidnapping becomes a real possibility. Can the Half Reads Book Club take on two investigations at once? There is nothing Megan loves more than the challenge of a mystery. The gallant and roguish Sergeant Tim Sayer has his eye on Megan, but is it just because she is poking around for evidence and suspects? Toby, the kind book-loving mail man wants to be the one who delivers, but is Megan going to keep him safely on the friend shelf? His oh-so-hot brother Tyler swoops in to save the day, but will he be the one to save Megan's heart? Though romance tugs, Megan will not be distracted from finding the killer, kidnapper, and clues. Megan's dear friend and co-worker, Ada, is arrested for the dentists' murder and the book club becomes desperate in its hunt for the real killer. Could a legendary mountain man be behind both the murder and the kidnapping? A trek into the peaks could put Megan and her friends in real peril, but will it be bears, free-roaming cows, or a gun-toting lunatic desperate to stay free? Excitement and intrigue take this eccentric book club crashing down the mountain as hostages in an RV, and crashing into Sergeant Tim's patrol car. Only their unique resourcefulness and peculiar perseverance get them clues, but nothing is what it appears to be. Pressure and the reality of danger are mounting, with a killer loose and Ada sitting in a jail cell.
