Another good story in this series. I enjoyed it, didn't figure out who the killer was for sure, had suspicions, but nothing concrete. Enjoyed the characters once again and of course Charles. Quite a group of characters and look forward to the next book in the series. Light romance and resolved issues in that arena. Love the lighthouse.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars. I myself loved this book. I dont understand the other mediocre reviews written about it. What's not to love about books and a lighthouse on the beach by the ocean especially when it's a southeastern beach. It's been awhile since I've read the book but I remember it had a spooky feel to it with the ship found with dead passengers.

Not a bad cozy, but not a particularly wonderful one either. You can't help but love the setting, the lighthouse library, and the main characters are all likeable. The main character has a bit of holier than though going on, but all in all worth reading if you have read the others in this series.
I enjoyed this book. It is the 3rd in a series and I don't know if she will be writing more. It had that kind of âwrap upâ feel. It was an interesting story line with some engaging characters. I loved that the library in real life would never fit in a real light house. It would have to be like the TARDIS in Dr. Who! I highly recommend this book and the entire series.

Nice addition to the series. A mystery that kept me guessing who done it through most of the book, (and that's a rarity.) Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I suppose Im in the minority here with the rating and review.
One star for the cover.
I had a hard time getting into the first book in the series but I loved the idea of the lighthouse and it housing the town library. Ocean included! I loved the setting and thought how can you go wrong writing something like this?
It has felt disjointed the whole time for me. As if something is totally missing. There is so much writing about the characters that you get no chance at hearing the atmosphere or the setting description. All I see are faces and people talking when I visualize these stories with no background. I dont like that.
Book 2 did capture my interest and I did like that one. Sooo, of course Ill read book 3. This one was so bad, it felt like the author was so desperate just to write a story and couldn't think of anything. Then again this is a story we have heard a million times in other mystery or cozy books, it fell flat for me. I had to keep urging myself to go on when I was more than half way. I was so tired of reading the humdrum of words, I felt blessed to shut the book for good.
I will not read any further in this series, Im finally convinced...never judge a book by its gorgeous cover..
I do not recommend this series, there are many cozies out there that will have you itching to turn the pages throughout!
