A rare book theft sparks investigation from "summary" of A Three Book Problem by Vicki Delany
In the small town of Upper Swinford, a quiet day at the library takes a dramatic turn when a rare and valuable book suddenly goes missing from the collection. The disappearance of this precious item sets off a chain of events that will ultimately lead to a full-blown investigation into the crime. The book in question is no ordinary volume; it is a first edition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic mystery novel, "The Hound of the Baskervilles." This particular edition is not only rare but also highly sought after by collectors around the world. Its sudden disappearance raises red flags for librarian and amateur sleuth, Amy Webber, who is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. As Amy delves into the case, she discovers that there may be more at play than a simple theft. Clues begin to surface that point to a larger conspiracy involving other valuable books in the library's collection. With the help of her friends and colleagues, Amy sets out to unravel the truth behind the theft and bring the culprits to justice. As the investigation progresses, Amy finds herself drawn deeper into a web of deceit and danger. She must navigate carefully through a maze of suspects and motives, all while trying to protect the library and its valuable collection from further harm. Will she be able to solve the case before it's too late, or will the thieves succeed in their nefarious plot? In the end, the rare book theft that sparked this investigation will prove to be just the beginning of a much larger and more dangerous mystery for Amy and her friends to solve. The stakes are high, the danger is real, and the truth may be more shocking than anyone could have imagined.
