By Book or By Crook: A Lighthouse Library Mystery

Eva Gates

2015, 339 pages

Fiction

In this cozy mystery, the Austen Collection is the sun around which the people of the Bodie Lighthouse rotate. For a small island town off the coast of North Carolina, having something as valuable as a collection of first edition Jane Austen novels draws a real crowd. That is, until someone turns up dead and the books start going missing one by one. 

The cops think they have an open and shut case when they find someone with the body, but something doesn’t add up to Lucy. She’s determined to find out what’s really going on to exonerate her new family, and to avoid being sent back home to Boston before she loses her new job, whether the cops want her help or not.

With the library set in a charming lighthouse, this is a page turner that keeps you guessing to the end, with a cast of characters that you’ll love and hate.
