Buried in the Stacks is the third installment in The Haunted Library Mysteries series set in Clover Ridge, CT and featuring librarian Carrie Singleton. Carrie has been thrust into the role of Sunshine Delegate for the library and her first assignment is to visit her nemesis and fellow research librarian Dorothy who is in the hospital recovering from a fall.

During her visit Carrie is shocked when Dorothy claims that it was her husband who had pushed her and that it was also him who'd caused the death of her Aunt Evelyn - the library's residence ghost - a few years before. Before Carrie can share the news with Evelyn, Dorothy makes her return to work and suffers a fatal car accident on the way home. Evelyn begs Carrie to find out who killed her niece and also solve the mystery of who had killed her.

In addition to tracking down a killer Carrie is faced with the growing problem of the homeless camping out in the library to escape the winter weather. A few ugly arguments between the homeless results in the library patrons unwilling to visit or to bring their children to the various programs being offered. Carrie is pleased to hear that a previously vacant house has been purchased and is slated to become a retreat for the homeless, but she quickly learns that things aren't on the up and up with the committee in charge.

A fast paced adventure with returning characters, just the right amount of romance and a feisty feline.
