By Book or by Crook
by Eva Gates
New to her job at the Lighthouse Library, Lucy sets in as Assistant Librarian, much to the chagrin of its stingy board and a certain local who feels that job should be hers. Located in the Outer Banks of NC, it’s a quirky set up, utilizing all floors, with one being residential and where Lucy resides.
A rare complete set of Jane Austen first editions is on loaned display, which brings in fans, en masse, and sets the scene for murder and pilfering of several of the books.
The malapropisms of the Library Chair, John Uppington, had me missing Norm Crosby and highly regretting that he happened to be the murder victim. Would have loved him being a regular character.
A full cast of library crew, locals and the investigative team keep you guessing right along with Lucy as she tries to prove her boss (who found the body, happened to be holding the weapon, and had plenty to gain through circumstances entwined) innocent and regain custody of the invaluable books.
