I’m delighted to feature Death By Library today, the 4th in the Pismawallops PTA Mysteries by Rebecca M. Douglass. This is part of the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours running between December 2 – 13, so I reckon I made it

Season’s Greetings to you, dear reader. I am Willoughby, Narrator-in-Residence at Buckmore. My job is to fill your soul with delight as you imagine the lights, laughter and love to be found during the Yule season at Castle Buckmore. You
