This is another in the Cat in the Stacks Mystery series (the eighth one), featuring Charlie Harris and his Maine Coon cat, Diesel. In this story, the Southern Academic Libraries Association is holding their annual meeting this year in Athena, Mississippi. As the interim library director at Athena College, he will have to deliver the welcome speech, which he dreads.
While he is looking forward to seeing some old friends he hasn't seen in a while, he discovers that the keynote speaker is Gavin Fong, his nemesis from college. Even though it has been 30 years, he finds that Gavin is still annoying in every way, and becomes involved in an argument with him.
When Gavin's body is found, Charlie is then the prime suspect in his murder. Naturally, Charlie is determined to clear his name, and offer up other suspects to the police.
As with the other books in the series, there are side issues from Charlie's personal life followed in the story, and I enjoy getting to know Charlie's friends and family. I also find the mysteries to be quite interesting, and enjoyable. So far, the books I've read in this series have not disappointed me!
