Murder Past Due by Miranda James is a cozy mystery that almost put me to sleep. It's about a college librarian who takes his Maine Coon cat with him practically everywhere, even to a funeral! This was the fun part of the book. The college librarian's curiosity and concern for his college student boarder draws him into his private investigation of the murder of one of the alumni authors who came to speak at the college and donate all his materials to the archives. There was a lot of lying by the characters and the reader was kept in the dark as to who the murderer was until the very end.
This was slow moving and presented many possible suspects, some of which lied which caused more confusion for me. The subplot of who boarder's biological father was somewhat interesting. I liked the cover but was relieved when I finished it!

I don't know if I would enjoy something where there were a lot of untruths. It makes it very confusing for the reader.
