Bookmarked for Murder features Juanita Wills, intrepid (aka nosy) public librarian in the small town of Wyndham, Oklahoma. In this first book in the Scrappy Librarian series, Juanita takes on a dangerous mix of murder, local militias, and deep-seated racism, as she tries to get to the bottom of a hate crime that takes place in a local church. Juanita is nothing if not stubborn, whether she is pestering suspects, trying to keep a book club on track, or playing referee to the "quote wars" that inspire her staff to their own version of literary mayhem. The small-town setting is pleasantly familiar, and the story a satisfying tale of secrets unraveled and justice sought. Marion Moore Hill is the author of the Scrappy Librarian mystery series and the Deadly Past mysteries. She lives in Durant, Oklahoma.

Johnson Marion Moore Hill's first novel is an excellent venture into the "mystery" genre and yet it defy's such a classification. It is a tidy little who-done-it that is more a story of insatiable curiosity and natural intelligence than it is of death, guns and tough guys. This is a story about a librarian who wanders, late one night on her way home from work, into the twisted world of militia hate groups and wife killers. Juanita Wills is the head librarian of the Wyndham, Oklahoma Public Library. After working quite late one night she is walking home and, while passing the Methodist Church, hears a sharp cry. At the same time she notices the front door of the church ajar she is confronted by three hooded men running out of the church. Two of the men approach her but are ordered away by the third. The frightened, but resolute Wills then enters the church and finds the comatose form of her friend, the Reverend Farris Asher lying on the floor of the sanctuary. On the wall of the sanctuary is found a crudely painted swastika and the words NIGER LUVER DOER OF DEVELS WERK. G.O.L. It is at this point that Wills is launched off into, what is for her, totally uncharted, and, as she is soon to discover, very dangerous territory. Wills is determined to track the cause of this assault and vandalism. She begins to research this case with an almost obsessive sense of curiosity that fly's in the face of direct orders from her friend, police Lt. Wayne Cleary. What Wills lacks in investigative experience she more than makes up for in what many investigators lack, the natural ability to recall seemingly insignificant items of information and relate them. She possesses an almost uncanny ability to "connect-the-dots" as it were. Ms. Hill begins her portrayal of this small Oklahoma town and its inhabitants in an almost Norman Rockwell model. This gradually degenerates, however as Wills research begins to uncover the darker side of people she thought she knew. As I proceeded through this story I began to see it almost as "News from Lake Wobegon" containing an article about the KKK. This story is certainly more a character driven than "mystery" driven in that Ms. Hill has the causation reveled about half way through the book. The "who" that is revealed in the end is quite a clever revelation and brings this excellent first novel to a surprising conclusion. A final note: do not expect a Sue Grafton or J.A. Jance or any of the other mainstream investigators. This is a different sort of character in a different sort of mystery. This novel is well worth the effort.

The mystery of who assaulted the minister, left the misspelled graffiti and where the story goes from there does not seem like a first book. The characters and plot held my interest and when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about the story. Descriptions, conversations and actions of characters fit with small town Oklahoma. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the book to students and adults.

A n Oklahoma Cozy Mystery By A Customer Who ever thinks small towns are slow in this modern world and do not have interesting, slightly odd and downright dangerous characters are in for a fast-paced read. Readers will find themselves laughing out loud, nodding with recognition of human foibles, and finally, experiencing a shiver of fear. Bookmarked for Murder by Marion Hill introduces character Juanita Wills, the town librarian who by the second page of chapter one becomes a witness to three masked men leaving the church where they have brutally attacked the minister.Wills is told by her policeman boyfriend Wayne, to leave the investigating to the police, but of course she simply waits until he is out of sight. Almost everyone in town could be or becomes a suspect in the beating and the hate filled message left in the church. From lawyer, to teacher, banker to retired military man, a high school student to politician and even the assistant librarian, they all come under Juanita's scrutiny. As she questions, tails, and inspects around town, the frequency and visciousness of telephone calls increases at her home. Instead of frightening her off, Juanita persists.Small town life is shown in an evening stroll through downtown, going door to door for donations to the Relief Agency, and everyone knowing each other, yet not really knowing what secrets are kept by the neighbors.Wills resorts to a chocolate souffle at a time of great stress. (Find Hill's own souffle recipe in cookbook "Second Helping of Murder") Juanita is able to investigate, order books for the library, keep library workers from becoming totally out of hand, help her Vietnamese neighbors who are being harrassed and even has an adopted dog.There is humor, a touch of romance and the fact that no matter how idilic the town may look, there is a militia filled with hate and violence, murder and manipulation of the community. Readers will find the outcome most satisfactory, just as Juanita finds Wayne's kisses.
