Murder by the Minutes

Never judge a book by its cover unless Piper O'Donnell is prominently on display. Woodlawn, Ohio's newest library board of trustee member is busily securing her social status by organizing the library's premiere event of the season--the Booklovers' Ball. Unfortunately, Piper's dreamy vision of pink panache vanishes into thin air when she stumbles over a dead body in the library director's office. Forget the evites and the party favors. The list of possible suspects could fill a bestseller, and they include Piper's own sister who was spotted at the scene of the crime. There's also a charismatic minister thought to be short on offerings for his ambitious mega church. And rumors are circulating that the library director himself and his ditzy assistant may also be cooking the books. With help from her handsome fiancé Rusty O'Brien, Piper puts her sleuthing skills to work to investigate the complicated crime. The minutes are ticking down for Woodlawn's top party planner. Will Piper be able to uncover the mysterious killer who is intent on ruining her lavish affair--and can she do it before the next board meeting?
