Three Tomes Bookshop, [book 1]

"At forty-eight, Jacqueline Finch has a nice, easy life with few responsibilities: she's been a librarian in Chicago for twenty-five years, she doesn't have a husband, children, or pets, and she's just coasting along, enjoying her books and a small flower garden now that she's over the hill. That is, until the Universe (helped by three old crones) has other ideas. All at once, Jacqueline's staid (and boring) life is upended, and the next thing she knows, she's heading off to Button Cove to start a new life as the owner of Three Tomes Bookshop--only the morning after she arrives, the body of a dead man is found on her property. The next thing Jacqueline knows, her staid and simple life is no longer quiet and unassuming, and she's got crones, curses, and crocodiles to deal with. Jacqueline is suddenly faced with a life and death situation that will totally push her out of her comfort zone ... if she's brave enough to let it. After all, isn't forty-eight too late for an old dog to learn new tricks?"-- Back cover
