About the book
Librarian Lucy Richardson found herself in a tricky situation during Halloween in North Carolina’s Outer Banks when she stumbled upon a dead body in the rare books section.
Wealthy businessman Jay Ruddle was considering donating his collection of North Carolina historical documents to the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, but the competition for the collection was fierce. Tragically, Jay met his demise in the rare books section while the library was hosting a lecture on ghostly legends. Now, Lucy and her fellow librarians must use their detective skills to uncover the culprit behind this Halloween homicide.
Strange occurrences at the library added to the mystery - haunted horses appearing in the marsh, lights with a life of their own, and a model ship's crew seemingly moving on their own. Is the Bodie Island Lighthouse truly haunted, or is Lucy just at her wit’s end?
With The Legend of Sleepy Hollow in mind and spooky gossip all around, Lucy must decipher the clues to solve the case in The Spook in the Stacks, the fourth installment in Eva Gates’ Lighthouse Library mysteries.
