UREBOROUGH LIBRARY MYSTERY

Murder, mystery, and a community fighting to survive - welcome to Ureborough, where a quiet village library becomes the centre of a chilling investigation.

When librarian Tom Mansfield learns his beloved library is about to close, he rallies a small group of volunteers to save it. But their plans take a dark turn when they uncover a hidden yard - and a young woman's body.

As police launch a murder investigation, the unlikely team -including sharp-witted Helen, practical Marcia, and tech-savvy Baldev - find themselves drawn into a web of secrets stretching far beyond their quiet North Yorkshire village.

With links to a troubled night at a club, a dangerous gang, and a victim hiding a life of privilege and vulnerability, the mystery deepens with every clue.

Perfect for readers who love:

● cosy crime with a dark edge

● small-town mysteries

● strong ensemble characters

● classic British whodunnits

Fans of Agatha Raisin, Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, and M.C. Beaton will be captivated by this gripping and character-driven mystery.

Can a group of ordinary volunteers uncover the truth - before the killer disappears for good?
