Arsenic and Old Books (Cat in the Stacks Mystery)

In Athena, Mississippi, librarian Charlie Harris is known for his good natureâ€”and for his Maine coon cat Diesel that he walks on a leash. Charlie returned to his hometown to immerse himself in books, but taking the plunge into a recent acquisition will have him in over his headâ€¦

Lucinda Beckwith Long, the mayor of Athena, has donated a set of Civil War-era diaries to the archives of Athena College. The books were recently discovered among the personal effects of an ancestor of Mrs. Longâ€™s husband. The mayor would like Charlie to preserve and to substantiate them as a part of the Long family legacyâ€”something that could benefit her son, Beck, as he prepares to campaign for the state senate.
Â
Beckâ€™s biggest rival is Jasper Singletary. His Southern roots are as deep as Beckâ€™s, and their families have been bitter enemies since the Civil War. Jasper claims the Long clan has a history of underhanded behavior at the expense of the Singletarys. Heâ€™d like to get a look at the diaries in an attempt to expose the Long familyâ€™s past sins. Meanwhile, a history professor at the college is also determined to get her hands on the books in a last-ditch bid for tenure. But their interest suddenly turns deadlyâ€¦
Â
Now Charlie is left with a catalog of questions. The diaries seem worth killing for, and one thing is certain: Charlie will need to be careful, because the more he reads, the closer he could be coming to his final chapterâ€¦
