Bookmarked for Murder

The beating of a gentle minister and a hate message on one church wall launch wry-witted librarian Juanita Wills on a quest to learn who's shattering the peace in her small Oklahoma town.

"Bookmarked for Murder has made me a real devotee of Marion Hill mysteries. It's the kind of book I love to read: well-written; interesting, enjoyable characters; and a clear but intriguing narrative style."

—Dr. Joseph E. Littlejohn, retired college English professor and dean

"Move over, Cassandra Mitchell, Helma Zukas, and Jordan Poteet; Juanita Wills has joined you at the checkout desk! Today's libraries are not quiet, safe havens and librarians aren't shy folk, afraid to face the dangers their inquisitiveness may bring their way. Librarian Juanita Wills takes on the local militia, racism, murder and the petty squabbles of her library staff in a mystery that mixes the coziness of small town mores with the hard-boiled edge of big city crime. But forget about a bookmark—you won't stop reading long enough to need one!"

—Jeanette Larson, Librarian, Austin (Texas) Public Library

"Librarians make such intelligent sleuths!"

—Linda S. Bingham, What the Librarian Heard

"As a corporate librarian for almost 20 years, I especially enjoyed the fact that the main character is a librarian—and one with such pluck and wit! I'll be at the top of the list waiting to buy a copy of the sequel!"

—Judy Leavitt, Iowa librarian

"This is definitely a page-turner, with the reader unsure until the last exactly who the culprit is."

— Sharon Morrison, Okla. college reference librarian

"A rousing good read! Marion Moore Hill captures the flavor of small town America and serves up a tantalizing dinner of murder and political intrigue, with side dishes of literary humor and gentle romance."
