crystalbrutlag 's review for:

By Book or By Crook by Eva Gates

---

Reading the first two books by Mia Manansala I was ready to read more cozy mysteries. I love libraries AND I love lighthouses, so this one sounded like a winner. My mom and I both read it and greatly enjoyed it. It was a fun mystery, great for literary lovers, and also great for people who want to imagine living in a lighthouse. I got wrapped up in the mystery and the ending wasn't obvious (at least to me). The only thing I didn't like is the way the author chose to describe one of the characters and the assumptions she made about the character based on that description.
