Midnight at the bright ideas bookstore

Midnight at the bright ideas bookstore / Matthew Sullivan, 328 pgs.

Lydia has some childhood trauma in her background but has managed to put it aside.  She is living an unassuming life in Denver where she works in a bookstore.  In some ways working with books seems inevitable because she is the child of a librarian.  But Lydia is also great with the customers, including the BookFrogs, a group who use the store as a home base.  One in particular, Joey, is close to her and when he ends his life, she finds has inherited his estate. Not much there for except books and some clues that lead Lydia to do some detective work. Many signs point to the childhood she has willingly left behind, forcing to confront past issues.

The author is married to a librarian so gets many details so right. I thank Kathleen for recommending this one.
