The librarians

In the leafy suburbs of Austin, Texas, a small branch library welcomes the public every day of the week.

And Sophie, who has the most to lose, maintains a careful and respectful distance from her coworkers, but soon that won't be enough anymore. When two patrons turn up dead after the library's inaugural murder mystery-themed game night, the librarians' quiet routines come crashing down. Something sinister has stirred, something that threatens every single one of them. And the only way the librarians can save the library-and themselves-is to let go of their secrets, trust one another, and band together.... All in a day's work"--
