At Penny's suggestion, Florence Semble, a friend from Penny's adopted hometown, is invited to the Library to decode the secretary's shorthand notebook in the search for clues. As the conference continues, another body is found in the beautiful library itself, and Penny must once again search for a killer.Elizabeth J. is a writer who lives in New York City Duncan is the author of the Penny Brannigan mysteries and the Shakespeare in the Catskills series, both of which are mystery series.
