Though Roe has proven she can handle just about anything, even this part-time librarian may not be ready for the full-time crisis that comes her way in the sixth Aurora Teagarden mystery . . .

Roe''s life finally seems to have settled into a comfortable pattern.

But then, one afternoon, her handyman goes crazy in her front yard. Roe suspects this is a sign of more bad things to come. And she is right.
