This book was so fun! I love reading about Lucy and all the gang. This time there is a big art show in town and during the opening gala a guest is found dead! Lucy and Louise Jane team up and try to help the police find the identity of the killer. I had a lot of fun, highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books, and Eva Gates for giving me the opportunity to read an advance reader copy. All opinions are my own.

Another enjoyable story in this series. I enjoyed the art aspect, it’s such a good tie in with books! It seems shorter than others in the series but I enjoyed how it keeps going on even tho our sleuth is happily married.

I love how excited the town and the library staff were for the upcoming art show. I don't remember ever living in a place that supports the arts and learning as much as Nag's Head does in this book, although I would love it if that were the case.

I was not able to guess who the killer was, so that was a pleasant surprise. I love that Lucy experienced a really close call in this novel, too often there are no real consequences for the amateur sleuths. 

Looking forward to reading the next installment in the Lighthouse Library mystery series.
