Lighthouse Library Mystery Book 3
The national bestselling author of The Spook in the Stacks returns with another charming mystery set in the most literary lighthouse in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Misfortune blows into North Carolina’s Outer Banks when a dead body in a boat on the shore leaves local librarian Lucy Richardson racing to solve a strange new mystery....
After a successful party at Bodie Island’s Lighthouse Library, librarian Lucy Richardson is ready to curl up with her cat, Charles, and a good book. But her R and R is cut short when she notices some mysterious lights leading a small boat to crash into the coast.
The two shipwrecked seafarers survive the ordeal—but one of them shows up dead ashore a few days later. Lucy finds herself again roped into a murder investigation and navigating a sea of suspects, all of whom had motives to deep-six the deceased. And this time, she has a sinking feeling that finding the real killer won’t be so easy...
My Review:
This book carried me away. I know I should have seen that solution coming, but the story kept me wildly distracted so I never caught on to the important clues. I love that we get to see Lucy growing into someone’s who’s not quite as naïve or as willing to put her own safety at risk. And I absolutely adore that we’re seeing an end to the love triangle! I’m also very glad to see it done in such a way that everyone has a chance at a happy ever after. Now I’m more interested than ever to see what comes next. I read a borrowed copy of this book.
