Up In Flames. Houston arson investigator John Bolt, newly divorced and not looking for romance, meets an intriguing
woman with the prosaic name of Mary. A hearing person raised by deaf parents, Mary has made working with the deaf her life's work, that and acting. On a small New England college campus, Bolt runs a
serial arsonist to earth, and Mary goes along to make sure he doesn't pin the crime on her old college chum.

In Cozies, Capers & Crimes, May 2002, Pat Browning, author of FULL CIRCLE, wrote about What The Librarian Heard:
The coziest of cozies are set in places with fixed boundaries, such as country houses, villages, and small towns. When everyone knows everything about everyone else, events take interesting, even
outrageous, turns. By unspoken agreement, there's a general tolerance for human foibles and frailties.
