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-fiancé.
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…
