5.0
MAYHEM IN CIRCULATION is the second book in the Larkspur Library Mysteries by Leah Dobrinska. The eye-catching cover invites the reader to enter and the heartwarming cozy mystery with a hint of sweet romance keeps them turning pages. The author has created core characters that readers will love—they are truly nice people, that care about each other, their customers, and their community. Protagonist Greta Plank is the town’s librarian and is lucky enough to have two best friends, Josie and Iris. Together they make a formidable trio, solving the murder of the mayor right before the start of Larkspur’s Fall Festival. The author’s strong descriptive voice brings the town and the festivities to life and I like how she weaves in the age-old debate of pro tourism vs. remaining the same quaint, quiet town.
The mystery is well-plotted and moved at a fast enough pace. I was more invested in getting to know the charming characters (and following the sweet interaction between Greta and McHenry) than I was finding out whodunit. Yet Ms. Dobrinska had the clues in place and enough suspects to keep the armchair detective guessing. I highly recommend this cozy fall-themed mystery while snuggled up in an armchair with a plushy blanket and a mug of hot cocoa!
