Sleuthing is past due in the fourteenth installment of the Bookmobile Cat Mystery series by national bestselling author Laurie Cass.
A small-town bookmobile librarian and her rescue cat refuse to go by the book when an elderly patron’s body is found at the bottom of a small lake.
It’s winter in northwest lower Michigan, which means librarian Minnie Niswander and her cat, Eddie, are staying cozy in the bookmobile. But not everything is as it should be.
When an elderly housebound patron, Gerald Arnold, fails to answer his door, Minnie knows something is wrong. Her fears are confirmed when the police discover Gerald’s body beneath the surface of a small frozen lake.
Minnie knows that the kind and cautious Gerald would never have been so careless as to fall through the ice, and she suspects foul play. But law enforcement rules the old man’s death an accident, and Minnie knows she will have to take the investigation into her own hands.
As she and Eddie dig deeper, Minnie is troubled to learn that Gerald—and many of her friends—had been suspects in a decades-old cold case. Were the two murders connected? If so, it looks like justice is long overdue.

When Minnie Niswander stops to check up on patron Gerald Arnold and he doesn't answer the door she knows that something isn't right. With one call to police she learns that her senses were correct, Gerald is discovered beneath the surface of the frozen lake. Minnie suspects foul play, but the police don't agree...which means Minnie just landed her next case to solve!
Murder on Thin Ice is a captivating and heartfelt cozy mystery that kept me on my toes the whole way through! Ms. Niswander and her side kick have quite the task in front of them, but as we have learned in previous installments, there isn't much that they can't accomplish. Minnie sets on out a journey to find the truth and winds up more than she bargained for, she has two murders on her hands to solve, and hopefully she's on the right track to find the killer!
I really enjoyed this journey between the pages, it was a suspenseful, adventurous, and good for the heart! Highly recommend!
