About this audiobook
Springtime in Chilson, Michigan, means it's librarian Minnie Hamilton's favorite time of year: maple syrup season! But her excitement fades when her favorite syrup provider, Henry Gill, dies in a sugaring accident. It's tough news to swallow . . . even if the old man wasn't as sweet as his product.
On the bookmobile rounds with her trusty rescue cat Eddie, Minnie meets Adam, the old man's friend, who was with him when he died. Adam is convinced Henry's death wasn't an accident, and fears that his own life is in danger. With the police overworked, it's up to Minnie and Eddie to tap all their resources for clues-before Adam ends up in a sticky situation . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good listen. Dragged a little in the middle. I do enjoy the interactions with the cat. LOL
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Spring is arriving in Michigan, and it's time for Minnie to move back to her houseboat and out of her aunt's boardinghouse. A tree falls atop an elderly man, but Minnie feels something is not quite right. After talking to the man with him at the time of the accident, she feels certain it was murder. She presents her theory to the police. On the relationship front, things are not going so well with Tucker, her doctor boyfriend who never has time to visit her. Everyone in Chilson wants her to hook up with Ash Wolverson, a police officer. I love Eddie, the bookmobile cat, and how he always saves the day! This installment was slow for me in getting started, but once it picked up around the half-way point, I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Continuing to enjoy this series, the minor characters are getting more defined as the series progresses and a large part of the book is still focused on the library or bookmobile.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When a friend of Minnie’s dies while collecting sap to make maple syrup, another friend of the victim is not so sure it was an accident. Other unusual happenings occur, enough to make Minnie suspicious that others may be in danger. Things really heat up when someone close to Minnie is threatened. Much happens in this book to further the growth of the characters, so while it could stand on its own as a mystery, it’s best to read the series in order. These books just keep getting better.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5My mom got this book free at her library's book exchange area. I liked it, but I didn't love it. I liked that the main character is a librarian, and I liked that she didn't deliberately seem to set out to help the police because she thought they couldn't do as good a job as she could. I did like that she felt she could research better or more thoroughly than some other characters in the book.I wish the cat (Eddie) had a bit more personality or quirks. I liked the town (except for the weather/coldness). It seems like it would be a nice small town to visit or live in (if it wasn't winter)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice twisty story. People aren't all what they seem, of course.
