SOLVED. Mystery, Set in Washington CT but the town name was changed to another president. [s]

I think it was a mystery that involved something being found in a library. The owner of the library was deceased or missing. The book was set in a fictional town in CT. It was based on Washington/Washington Depot but the name was changed to another president’s name, something like Jefferson Station instead of Washington Depot.

How many years ago did you read this?
Was it for teens or adults?
Part of a series?
Anything about the cover?
Time period story takes place?
Who was trying to solve the mystery: a detective, an amateur sleuth, a group of kids, etc?

Probably published 2000s. I don’t think any of the characters were detectives or professionals. I think someone had died and it was family/friends/heirs (possibly) trying to figure out the mystery. Not a series, just a one off.

Not a kids book.

Solved. The book was The Geographer's Library by Jon Fasman. The town name was changed from Washington to Lincoln.
