The Cozy Mystery Book Club

It's a good story, about a librarian who moves from Boston to a small town in Minnesota to take charge of the renovation of an old Carnegie library. When she finds the body of a lecherous old conductor who is in town for a summer music festival the police naturally focus on her, suggesting that she was having an affair with him. She was not. Her only meeting with the man was when he complained the new computers weren't hooked up in the library, during which discussion her cat jumped onto his head from a bookshelf. He was not amused.

Lots of cat stuff, food, tai chi, and charm. Not much about books, though, which was a disappointment. If you like the Donna Andrews' bird mysteries, the Laura Childs' tea shop mysteries, or Aunt Dimity, you might want to take a look at this.
