Death by Beach Read

fullDescription

It's spring in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Lucy and Connor have moved into their new home, at last, a historic cottage on the Nags Head Beach. Lucy is now happily immersed in her work at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, planning her wedding, and decorating the house. But then a dead body disrupts their peaceful new abode. The first night Lucy's alone in the house, with the company of Charles the library cat, she hears sounds. While investigating, they see footsteps in the dust of the unfinished living room, and the door leading outside is open. Lucy's reminded that the house is said to be haunted: forty years ago the teenage daughter of the owners fled in the night, and never again stepped foot inside her family home. The sounds have an all-too-human origin. One evening, Lucy and Connor find the dead body of a man in their kitchen. They soon realize he has a long-time connection to their house. Lucy's forced to find out what happened all those years ago and why it's threatening her happiness today. Meanwhile, the Classic Novel Reading Club is reading The House of the Seven Gables by Nathanial Hawthorne, a book about another old house full of secrets. Can Lucy find parallels to her own situation in Hawthorne's fiction before the killer strikes again?

     April 25, 2022
     Life couldn’t be sweeter for librarian Lucy Richardson and her fiancé, Connor McNeil, the mayor of Nags Head on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, in Gates’s breezy ninth Lighthouse Library mystery (after 2021’s Deadly Ever After). After a winter renovating their historic beach cottage, the couple have moved into their new home. Even rumors that the cottage is haunted don’t disturb Lucy. By coincidence, Lucy’s library book club is reading Nathaniel Hawthorne’s eerie The House of the Seven Gables when Lucy hears odd noises her first night alone in the cottage. Gossip about how one of the cottage’s last residents fled the house screaming about a ghost doesn’t help ease Lucy’s fears. Neither does the dead body Lucy and Connor find splayed on their kitchen floor. What drew the dead man to their cottage, and why are other unsavory characters suddenly interested in a house that sat empty for decades? Lucy must solve her own haunted house mystery if she and Connor are to live happily ever after. Sprightly prose matches distinctive characterizations. Cozy readers will enjoy spending time with book lover Lucy and her friends. Agent: Kimberly Lionetti, BookEnds Literary.

     Lucy Richardson, the librarian at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is engaged to marry Connor McNeil. After moving into their new home, Lucy initially believes she hears strange noises and finds footprints in the sand, but because the house has a reputation for being haunted, she convinces herself to ignore them. The pair cannot, however, ignore the dead body they find in the kitchen a few days later. Lucy and Connor have to get to the bottom of how the body came to be there and who it was before they can proceed with repairs and wedding preparations. Longtime residents of the island come together and new relationships emerge while Lucy and her friends work to unravel the mysteries of the house. Read by experienced narrator Elise Arsenault, the characters come alive. Arsenault is familiar with Lucy and Connor, as she has narrated all eight previous audiobooks in the "Lighthouse Library Mystery" series from Gates (Deadly Ever After). VERDICT Recommended for those who enjoy light mysteries and beach reads.--Cheryl Youse
