Murder at the Courthouse by Meghan Carver

Welcome to Grace Pointe… where most of the people are friendly, the church is to die for, and the sleuthing is as strong as the coffee. Darcy, her best friend Callie, and her always-pastoring brother, MacKenzie debates the pros and cons of attending law school mid-life while she searches out a killer.

Even though the detective with the chocolate brown eyes tells her to stick with making casseroles for the church pitch-in, she soon discovers the Judge’s scheming wife, his rebellious teen daughter, a network of lawyers in Grace Point who were disgruntled with the Judge, and even secrets that lurk among the library ministry team. Now, to clear the name of a family friend, she begins to work with the handsome criminal justice professor Ian Canter. Solving murders in her small town of Grace Pointe wasn’t a part of her plan…until she and her brother find a local judge who had come to Pastor Baker for counseling murdered in his chambers, hit over the head with a massive volume of the Indiana Code. She thought she was happy for years re-shelving books and helping patrons find their next great read, but as she turns forty, she suddenly struggles to figure out what more to do with her life. She’s a fun character because she’s a bit clueless when it comes to real-life matters of the heart (but she has no trouble immersing herself in the romance of a good book). MacKenzie Baker is an impetuous, eavesdropping small-town librarian who lives in the apartment above the parsonage garage and refuses to be defined as the pastor’s single sister. In Murder at the Courthouse, Meghan Carver introduces readers to Mackenzie Baker, a single forty-year-old germophobe who lives in the apartment over her brother’s garage. The heated comment made by a church library ministry team member shocks MacKenzie Baker, but it quickly becomes the least of her worries.
