Description:
When her former director is found dead in the water, librarian Lucy Richardson will have to get to the bottom of the mystery before the killer ends her tale.
It's summertime in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Bertie James's college class is having their 40th anniversary reunion. The opening night reception is held at the Lighthouse Library and Lucy and her colleagues have assembled an exhibit of library artifacts showing how libraries have changed over the years. After the reception, some of the women take a walk down the boardwalk to the pier, using flashlights to illuminate the dark path, but what's scarier than the dark is finding the former director of the Lighthouse Library floating lifeless in the water.
Helena Sanchez, the former director, wasn't much loved and spent the party being rude to almost everyone there. As a result, Lucy finds herself in deep water as she rocks the boat, questioning several suspects. But she'll have to batten down the hatches and fast before she's left high and dry...and right in the killer's crosshairs.
My Thoughts:
We're back to Outer Banks and Lucy's boss is hosting her reunion from college. Various people show up and meet up with fellow classmates but soon they decide to go out on the bluff and their a past librarian winds up dead and the pressure is on to figure out who did it. Unfortunately she upset alot of people before her death. Who killed her and why?
This book had so much going on Connor is trying to find a way to talk to Lucy about something personal but people keep getting in the way. Louisa Jane has convinced alot of the people around to try to summon spirits which she seems obsessed with proving she can do. Then there are all the attendants of the reunion what motive might they have for the killing.
This book was a blast to read with all the various people showing up and Lucy and Connor running in circles with this discussion. It was worth reading and following to see what happens in the story to see if your murderer is the same as the real one!
