The author of By Book or By Crook returns to the Outer Banks and the Lighthouse Library, where Lucy Richardson must shed light on a shocking murder...

Lucy has finally found her bliss as a librarian and resident of the Bodie Island Lighthouse. She loves walking on the beach, passing her evenings with the local book club, bonding with the library cat, Charles, and enjoying the attention of not one, but TWO eligible men. But then her socialite mother, Suzanne, unexpectedly drops in, determined to move Lucy back to Boston-and reunite her with her ex-fiance.

To make matters worse, Suzanne picks a very public fight at the local hotel with her former classmate Karen Kivas. So, when Karen turns up dead outside the library the next morning, Suzanne is immediately at the top of the suspect list. Now Lucy must hunt down a dangerous killer-before the authorities throw the book at her poor mother...

A REAL PAGE-TURNER - COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2017

Verified Purchase

OMG - what a gripping novel. I read it in one sitting - simply couldn't put it down.

Lucy, the main character, is Librarian (and tenant) of a library housed in an old lighthouse. When a member of her book club is done in, Lucy sets about uncovering the truth, a quest made all the more urgent when the main suspect is her mother (who's visiting). The story is a real page-turner because the author writes in such an engaging way that holds one's attention and makes you eager to carry on reading.

Readers who like gentle whodunits (not graphically 'grizzly' murders) will love this book, and if you have read Jo Dereske's 'Helma Zukas' series and are clamouring for something similar, this series (of 3) will quench your thirst. (Note: if you are expecting the library cat (as featured on the cover) to be part of the 'discovery' process, it isn't. Cat literally just jumps up on people's laps etc so doesn't really play any part in the book). I'm so glad the other two are on their way from Amazon as I write. CAN'T WAIT!!!

An entertaining mystery - highly recommended!

Reviewed in Canada on 2 November 2015

Verified Purchase

The setting for this novel - a lighthouse on North Carolina's Outer Banks - was enough to draw me in to the story and I'm so glad it did. Lucy, the librarian, is an engaging character with a talent for solving deadly puzzles. Having fled the stuffy confines of Boston and her parent's attempt to match her up with a less than enticing potential fiancée, Lucy's just getting settled into her new community when her mother descends and an old friend of her mother's is murdered. This is just the start of an absorbing mystery and entertaining read. You know you're in experienced hands when the writing flows so well you lose track of time - I promise, you'll love this book!
