About this ebook

If you enjoy intricate, multi-generational mysteries like Netflix's Dark, dive into The Library today!


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The plot is intricate, yet easy to follow... The paranormal aspect is well done. While not the central focus, the ghosts offer just enough to give Mark — and readers — something to think about." — Goodreads


In 1934, the body of a beautiful but impoverished young woman was discovered by the riverbank near The Depot. Brutally beaten and barely identifiable except for a tattoo on her ankle, her story vanished just as quickly as it surfaced.


Eighty years later, locals whisper that The Depot is haunted. But in all the years homicide detective Mark Waters has visited the historic 1800s train station turned restaurant, he’s never seen proof. Until now.


While investigating what seems like a suicide by train, Mark unearths connections to a murder from eight decades past — a murder that may have direct ties to his current case.


Six months after the eerie events at The Depot, another murder occurs. This time, it’s The Library that hides secrets of multiple killings, and the restless dead won't be at peace until the murderer is checked out — permanently.


Note: The Library (Where Life Checks Out) is a 50k-word follow-up novel to The Depot (When Life and Death Cross Tracks), which is included in this special edition so readers who haven't read The Depot won't miss anything.

Very well written with all the best elements included. A wonderful mystery along with rich characters, romance, and of course a touch of the paranormal. I couldn't put it down!

A book you will not put down until you finish. The characters tie together nicely. I would love to here about Ashlyn, Laura and Mark.

Paranormal murder story. Very well written. I liked the main characters and you should consider your next book being in the same venue.

About the author

Carmen DeSousa's stories overflow with romance, suspense, a hint of humor sometimes and, of course, a few Kleenex moments. After all, what would a great story be without an emotional event setting the stage? All of her novels are sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not graphic and will make you cry, laugh, love, and hope.

 

Although The Library (Where Life Checks Out) clearly includes a supernatural edge, the paranormal dances on the edge of make believe, in a genre referred to as magical realism. Her hope is that as you read "The Library," you'll wonder, "Hmmm...what if?"
