-----
Librarian Sherry Pinkwhistle has a knack for solving murders - lots of them. Sometimes she's concerned by just how many killers she's had to track down in her quiet village, though none of her neighbours seem surprised by the rising body count...
But when someone close to Sherry ends up dead, and her cat becomes unexpectedly possessed by an ancient demon as irritating as it is infernal, Sherry decides that it's time for action.
It will be a lesson for murderers and demons alike:
Never mess with a librarian.
About the Author

Reviews
Imagine if Jessica Fletcher worked in a village library and found herself fighting a demonic murderer with an ironic sense of humour, and you have a sense of how original, funny and fantastical this book is. I laughed my way through this smart, warm-hearted cozy mystery and I know readers will too. * Freya Sampson, USA Today bestselling author of Nosy Neighbours *
Sherry is the modern-day meta Miss Marple that we all need in our lives. This book effortlessly delivers a fun murder mystery with a possessed cat, a self-aware sleuth, and a well-meaning priest who missed the day they taught exorcism in seminary. I can't wait until this book comes out so I can yell "have you read this yet?" at my friends. * Mur Lafferty, Hugo Award winning author of The Midsolar Murders *
If you ever thought that all Cabot Cove really needed was a visit from Buffy Summers, this is the book for you. Clever, touching, and just a tad dark, The Village Library Demon Hunting Society brings meta to murder in a thoroughly satisfying way. * Juneau Black, author of the Shady Hollow Mysteries series *
A smart, stylish mystery with just the right amount of demon possession. The perfect read for a dark, stormy night by the fire. * Auralee Wallace, bestselling author of In the Company of Witches *
