A Cryptic Clue

audiobook


Sixty-year-old Jane Hunter, forced into early retirement from her job as a university librarian, is seeking a new challenge to keep her spirits up and supplement her meager pension. But as sheā€™s about to discover, a retireeā€™s life can bring new thrillsā€”and new dangers. Cameron ā€œCamā€ Clewe, an eccentric 33-year-old collector, is also seeking somethingā€”an archivist to inventory his ever-expanding compendium of rare books and artifacts. Janeā€™s thrilled to be hired on by Cam and to uncover the secrets of his latest acquisition, a trove of items related to classic mystery and detective authors. But Janeā€™s delight is upended when a body is discovered in Camā€™s library. The victim, heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, was the last in line of Camā€™s failed romancesā€”and now heā€™s suspect number one. Cam vows to use his intelligence and deductive skills to clear his nameā€”but with a slight case of agoraphobia, rampant anxiety, and limited social skills, heā€™ll need some help. It comes down to Jane to exonerate her new bossā€”but is he truly innocent?
