A fine mystery with interesting characters, but for me the real draw is the setting. I just love the idea that Lucy can work all day at the library, walk up to the the 4th floor and be home in the same lighthouse with a window seat to read in facing the ocean. Finish a book in the middle of the night, walk down to the library and take your pick. What a dream! Digital audiobook read by Elisa Arsenault Book two in the Lighthouse Library mystery series focuses on Lucy Richardson’s socialite mother, Suzanne, who has come for a visit and is behaving in a very unlikely manner. Suzanne is intent on getting Lucy back to Boston and properly married. But when a library book-club attendee is found murdered in the marsh near the Lighthouse, the police suspect Suzanne, and Lucy begins to investigate on her own to clear her mother. I like this cozy mystery series, even if Lucy does go above and beyond inserting herself into the investigation. Gates seems to be taking a page from Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, as well – giving Lucy two likely suitors in Mayor Connor McNeil and police officer Butch Greenblatt. How will she choose between these two gorgeous hunks?! Gates fills out the cast with an assortment of charming library workers, book club enthusiasts, and Lucy’s cousin Josie (who runs a very successful bakery). The author includes many literary references to the delight of this bookworm. And the resident cat, Charles (Dickens), is a nice addition. An enjoyable cozy mystery series, that I’ll continue reading. Elisa Arsenault does a fine job of reading the audio version. She sets a good pace and has clear diction, so even when listening at a faster speed I could easily understand her. This second book picks up right where the first one left off. The Austin collection is still on display, but the frenzy over it has died down. Lucy’s socialite mother, Suzanne, has come for a visit, but seems to be distressed. Suzanne has a very public and loud argument with a former friend, which is very out of character for her. When that friend is murdered, she is the prime suspect. This novel has much to commend it. The lighthouse setting is lovely, the mystery is captivating, and the characters are diverse and likable. The novel ends with a bit of problem concerning Lucy, which will cause readers to reach for that next book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Booked for Trouble is the second in the Lighthouse Library Mystery series by Eva Gates. The mystery was a fun one with a couple of obvious suspects for Lucy to sort out. The characters continue to be enjoyable and I liked getting to know Lucy's mom. The setting of the lighthouse library just can't be beat. I'm liking this cozy mystery series. Hopefully I can find the third book soon. ( )
