I really enjoyed this story, and it has made me want to catch up on the series. This is the 2nd book I have read in the series but I had no trouble following along. 'A Death Long Overdue' the 7th instalment in the 'A Lighthouse Library' Mystery series by Eva Gates. Sometimes she can be a tad irritating, but in this one, she was well balanced. There was a giant leap forward for Lucy's personal life, and Louise Jane stole the show, as she always does. What could it be about? As the clues unfold, it becomes clear why the person was murdered, but not which woman did it. I enjoyed this one very much, especially given the use of twin sisters, a haunted séance, and an event that took place decades ago having an impact on today. Lucy, our ~30ish protagonist, must solve the case once again. She unexpectedly runs into the previous library director who's back in town for a brief trip, and soon after the first event, the woman is found dead in a nearby marsh. In this installment, Bertie, the library director, holds a 40th reunion for her former classmates from library school in their Outer Banks, North Carolina town.

I've also read most of the author's books in her other series written as Vicki Delany. But she'll have to batten down the hatches and fast before she's left high and dry.and right in the killer's crosshairs.Ī Death Long Overdue is the 7th Lighthouse Library Mystery written by Eva Gates, and I've read all the earlier ones in this series.

As a result, Lucy finds herself in deep water as she rocks the boat, questioning several suspects. Helena Sanchez, the former director, wasn't much loved and spent the party being rude to almost everyone there. After the reception, some of the women take a walk down the boardwalk to the pier, using flashlights to illuminate the dark path, but what's scarier than the dark is finding the former director of the Lighthouse Library floating lifeless in the water. The opening night reception is held at the Lighthouse Library and Lucy and her colleagues have assembled an exhibit of library artifacts showing how libraries have changed over the years. It's summertime in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Bertie James's college class is having their 40th anniversary reunion. When her former director is found dead in the water, librarian Lucy Richardson will have to get to the bottom of the mystery before the killer ends her tale.
