By Book or By Crook (Lighthouse Library, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 84 more book reviews


This is a promising start to a new series. The premise is a young woman, Lucy Richardson, who has a Master's in Librarian and Information Sciences, has taken a stand against her Society Mother in Boston and moved to the NC outer banks to take a job as Assistant Librarian. The library is in a lighthouse and she even gets to live on one of the levels! Of course there is a murder. There are also the thefts of 3 Jane Austen first editions on loan to the library. In between we get to know Lucy and her friends, co-workers, family and 2 possible boyfriends, one of them being the boy who gave Lucy her first kiss when she was 15. This is a delightful series and I look forward to reading the next book
