Lindsey Norris and her personnel are gearing up for the Briar Creek Library’s annual Dinner in the Stacks fundraiser.

The night of dinner and dancing isn’t just a booklover’s dream – it is the library’s biggest moneymaker of the year. But instead of raising funds, Olive Boyle, the new library board leader, is busy increasing a stink and producing the staff miserable.

Although Olive acts like a storybook villain, Lindsey is set to work with her and produce the event successful. But when Olive publicly threatens Paula, the library’s newest hire, Lindsey splits like an old book spine and throws Olive from the library. The night time of the fundraiser, Lindsey dreads another altercation with Olive – but rather she discovers Paula crouched over Olive’s lifeless body.
