Cover of The Boxcar Librarian
April 30, 2025 Terry M-R says:
Brave women work the rails in 1920s Montana, delivering books to isolated communities; it is filled with betrayal, revenge, murder and romance!
During the Great Depression, WPA editor Millie Lang is sent to Montana to investigate sabotage at her project and uncovers a mystery surrounding Alice Monroe, her Boxcar Library and the disappearance of librarian Colette Durand years earlier.

Terry M-R

As an adult services library associate, I enjoy working with patrons to find answers to their queries and questions. My go-to book genres are mysteries, thrillers and general fiction, with a smattering of nonfiction in the mix. My favorite hobbies include hiking, birdwatching, photography, gardening, baking and watching nature programs on PBS. Originally from Massachusetts, I often dream of the mountains and waters of New England.
