Riddled to Death — Joanne Clarey

FATAL CONCLUSION

A lush and lovely June in Hummingbird Falls gives way to a strange and threatening game for transplanted librarian Ellie Hastings. Someone is sending her notes, each one a riddle, leading her on a strange hunt with malice implied at each turn. Her sharp mind enables her to keep up with the clues--but her nerves, and her sense of dread, are growing, especially when murder strikes.

The body of an unidentified woman is found floating in the falls, literally riddled to death with buckshot. A child goes missing, and a mysterious family moves into the village--a family with secrets. As events collide in unexpected ways, Ellie races to figure out the connection, before all the questions turn twice as deadly.
