Victoria Gilbert: A Cryptic Clue
Hunter & Clewe #1
This novel has a very meta set up. Jane Hunt, a retired librarian, has found a job cataloguing the library of Cam Clewe, a wealthy young man with a huge collection of books, many of them mystery novels. Jane is 60, and she’s downsizing because her daughter has left home (and her house was too expensive). She’s found an apartment, one that sounds like something Kinsey Milhone would feel comfortable living in, a tiny but charming space over the carriage house/garage of a retired reporter.
