Museum curator Bonnie Simpson is attacked then nearly run over, then she finds a dead guy in Melnik’s Historical Museum, which is the closest she’s come to having a visitor to the museum all week. Joe, the guy who attacked her might have been diving on her to save her from the car. And the car might have just been an octogenarian with an accelerator/brake problem. But that still leaves a corpse to explain.

My Impressions:
I like a cozy mystery — fun and quirky characters, small town setting and a mystery to solve along with the amateur sleuths in the novel. Mary Nealy has written a fun series featuring the town of Melnick, Nebraska; a town obsessed with its mascot, a stuffed mouse named Maxie. The townspeople go to great lengths to protect Maxie and in turn the town they love. In the second book of the series, Bonnie Simpson aka Marian the Librarian is featured. This shy woman gets bold when her town and Maxie are threatened and when love finally comes to call. Joe, a newcomer in town, needs her help and the sparks fly (literally) when they finally get together.
If you enjoy cozy mysteries, I recommend Fright at The Museum. It is laugh out loud funny, read quickly and features some great characters. (You can read my review of book 1, Bury The Lead, HERE.)
Recommended.
