Don't miss out on the thrilling murder mystery in the debut Lighthouse Library series!
For a decade, Lucy has immersed herself in rare literature at the Harvard Library, all the while dealing with the pressures of her high-society family and a lukewarm engagement to her father’s colleague's son. After her relationship falls apart, Lucy realizes it's time to make some major changes in her life.
Seeking solace with her aunt Ellen in the Outer Banks and indulging in treats from her cousin Josie’s bakery, Lucy hopes for a fresh start. Little does she know that her getaway will lead her to a new job opportunity at the lighthouse library on Bodie Island.
Thrilled to work in her favorite place, Lucy's excitement quickly turns to apprehension when a valuable Jane Austen novel goes missing and the head of the library board is found dead. As Lucy becomes entangled in a real-life mystery, she begins to question if there will be a happy resolution...
