A Cryptic Clue by Victoria Gilbert

Sixty-year-old Jane Hunter, forced into early retirement from her job as a university librarian, is seeking a new challenge to keep her spirits up and supplement her meager pension. But as she's about to discover, a retiree's life can bring new thrills-and new dangers. Cameron 'Cam' Clewe, an eccentric 33-year-old collector, is also seeking something-an archivist to inventory his ever-expanding compendium of rare books and artifacts. Jane's thrilled to be hired on by Cam and to uncover the secrets of his latest acquisition, a trove of items related to the classic mystery and detective authors. But Jane's delight is upended when a body is discovered in Cam's library. The victim, heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, was the last in line of Cam's failed romances-and now he's suspect number one. Cam vows to use his intelligence and deductive skills to clear his name - but with a slight case of agoraphobia, rampant anxiety, and limited social skills, he'll need some help. It comes down to Jane to exonerate her new boss-but is he truly innocent?

Victoria Gilbert combined her early love of reading with a profession as a writer and librarian. She enjoys watching movies, gardening, and traveling. She is a member of Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers, and Mystery Writers of America. She currently lives in North Carolina with her husband, son, and a few very spoiled animals.
