The Doro Banyon Mysteries-Boxset 1-Books 1-3

In small-town, Prohibition Era America, crime lurks around and beyond the quiet of the library stacks.

Follow college librarian and amateur sleuth Doro Banyon through three mysteries set amidst the intrigue and shifting social landscape of the Roaring Twenties and Great Depression. From a dead body in the library, to the Christmas committee chairwoman felled while decorating, to two local lawmen down (but not out) after being poisoned while judging a baking contest, Doro relies on her shrewd insight and unwavering resolve to expose the guilty—often crossing paths with Everett Mallow, the new campus security officer and former Prohibition agent whose presence complicates everything.

This three-book bundle features period charm, clever twists, and a simmering attraction between Doro and Ev that's tested by college rules barring married women from working. Each novel offers a satisfying standalone whodunit with growing emotional stakes.
