Blurb: For ten years Lucy has enjoyed her job poring over rare tomes of literature for the Harvard Library, but she has not enjoyed the demands of her family’s social whorl or her sort-of-engagement to the staid son of her father’s law partner. But when her ten-year relationship implodes, Lucy realizes that the plot of her life is in need of a serious rewrite.
Calling on her aunt Ellen, Lucy hopes that a little fun in the Outer Banks sun—and some confections from her cousin Josie’s bakery—will help clear her head. But her retreat quickly turns into an unexpected opportunity when Aunt Ellen gets her involved in the lighthouse library tucked away on Bodie Island.
Lucy is thrilled to land a librarian job in her favorite place in the world. But when a priceless first edition Jane Austen novel is stolen and the chair of the library board is murdered, Lucy suddenly finds herself ensnared in a real-life mystery—and she’s not so sure there’s going to be a happy ending....

Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: I've always been a big cozy mystery reader but with everything going on I can't get enough of them! And this will probably be the closest I get to the beach for awhile!
Something light like this would be perfect and well it has a lighthouse. I have always wanted to see what it would be like to live in one!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with lighthouses! There's just always something happening there!
ReplyDeleteHope you are keeping well and that your boy is okay.
I love the look and sound of this one. Enjoy!

ReplyDeletePretty cover as well. I like the cozy mystery part too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect escapist read!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly remember what the coast looks like!
ReplyDeleteI love so many of the cozy covers. Especially the books with dogs and cats on the them. 💟
ReplyDeleteThis book didn't quite do it for me as I wished it had more character collaboration and that the MC had more of a backbone.
ReplyDeleteCozies are great comfort reads aren't they? I hope you enjoy this one when you read it.
