Miss Helma Zukas is turning 42. She is not having a good time. Her boss, the library director, wants her to attend group counseling sessions. She has a younger perky co-worker who is flirting with her longtime admirer Police Chief Wayne (who has not noticed her birthday). Her cat, Boy Cat Zukas is missing. Her idea to start a local author's collection, has brought every writer (bad and good) in her district - and 2 of them end up murdered after the first start up meeting. After her free spirited best friend arrives in town, they hunt for her cat, mess up counseling sessions galore, and start looking for the murderers. Lost of fun and she portrays library land very well! A series.
