Book Review: The village Library Demon Hunting Society by C.M. Waggoner

The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society by C.M. Waggoner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So if you combine Jessica Fletcher with the supernatural, then you have this book. The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society was a fascinating novel, from the time you open the book to the end. You are sucked into the world of Winesap and how Sherry Pinkwhistle lives and tries to solve the murder of her dead boyfriend, Alan Thompson, a lawyer turned antique shop owner. With references to Poirot, Colombo, and Miss Marple, you get all of the cozy vibes, along with a side of the supernatural.

Sherry Pinkwhistle is a librarian serving the Winesap community, until one day her boyfriend, Alan, was killed inside his house. Even though she is known around town for solving murders, for this one, Sherry didn't want to do it. She tried to ignore it until a demon started to possess almost everyone in town, so she could solve the murder. Between solving the murder of her friend Charlotte's husband to the murder of Alan, how can one try and solve the murders at the same time?

Her talking cat, Lord Thomas Cromwell, nudges her along the way, giving her advice even though she was skeptical of the fact that her cat can talk to her now, but along the way she figures out who did kill Alan (it was shocking the girl who works for him) and not who I originally thought it was, which was the son. At the reveal, the son, Corey, became so jumpy and was willing to walk out, but the only thing he could be convicted of was the dope he hid behind a painting.

It was a fun book, a book I enjoyed very much the more I read it. The spirit taking on the form of her best friend and revealing that she liked the storytelling part, so she made up her own stories, made me a tiny bit weirded out, like the demon was playing and writing her own story so she can have something to read about when she's bored and out of her mind? But I still enjoyed it nonetheless and does this make me wanna read more of C.M. Waggoner's books? Maybe, one I get a chance to do so.
