A Hunter & Clewe Mystery Book 1

by Victoria Gilbert

Genre: Mystery

A retired librarian gets back to the books—and into a devilish murder case—in acclaimed author Victoria Gilbert’s new series, the perfect literary adventure for fans of Kate Carlisle and Jenn McKinlay.

Sixty-year-old Jane Hunter, forced into early retirement from her job as a university librarian, is seeking a new challenge to keep her spirits up and supplement her meager pension. But as she’s about to discover, a retiree’s life can bring new thrills—and new dangers.

Cameron “Cam” Clewe, an eccentric 33-year-old collector, is also seeking something—an archivist to inventory his ever-expanding compendium of rare books and artifacts. Jane’s thrilled to be hired on by Cam and to uncover the secrets of his latest acquisition, a trove of items related to the classic mystery and detective authors. But Jane’s delight is upended when a body is discovered in Cam’s library. The victim, heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, was the last in line of Cam’s failed romances—and now he’s suspect number one.

Cam vows to use his intelligence and deductive skills to clear his name—but with a slight case of agoraphobia, rampant anxiety, and limited social skills, he’ll need some help. It comes down to Jane to exonerate her new boss—but is he truly innocent?

Learning how to use the potty and getting rid of diapers once and for all is a major step for a child.

As they don’t even know what’s waiting for them on the other side, children need role models to help them grasp the idea and build the excitement and confidence to conquer the new world and skills.

Clara, the hero of our story, will support your child on the way and be the role model it needs. She will show your child that it is okay to be a little scared. Practice and the support of their parents/guardians will carry them through.

Clara is happy and proud of being a big girl in the end, just like your child will be too.

★ This kids book matches the parenting guide “The Toilet Training Book”. Loving and child-oriented it will lead you from preparation, through training, to implementation.
