Long Overdue at the Lakeside Library was an okay read for me. I didn't love it; I didn't hate it. I adored the setting of the book (a log cabin library in Lofty Pines, Northern Wisconsin.) For some reason, it gave me Little House on The Prairie vibes.

The setting is great in this one. The Northwoods Wisconsin during a winter storm! I loved it. We get to know more about Rain and Julia. Rain is the intuitive sleuth and Julia is the wild sidekick. They take a few crazy risks when investigating, so this one is a bit of a wild ride. The clues are well hidden, so I doubted my guess for the murderer. But in the end I was right, so that was a good payoff at the end of the book. My only complaint is that we are going into a love triangle. I personally don't really like those, but it is done with a lighter touch in this book. So if we have to have a love triangle, this one is done fairly well so far.
This would be a great read for a snowy day or for when you wish it was a snowy day.
