Spook in the Stacks:  A Lighthouse Library Mystery

by Eva Gates

It’s late October and Halloween is just around the corner.  What better place for tales of ghost ships and scary haunts than a lighthouse converted into a library located on the Outer Banks?  Librarian Lucy Richardson is not a believer but is looking forward to the book group discussion of Sleepy Hollow and the upcoming programs that promise creepy tales of local ghostly legends.  When former resident and owner of the most complete collection of North Carolina historical documents turns up dead in the library it puts a darker spin on tales of ghosts and wrong doings. 

I really enjoy books that give hints of ghosts and historical tales.  This one is a little light in that department but doesn’t disappoint in the general story telling.  Gates’ fourth installment in the Lighthouse Library series is a fun read filled with a little romance, spooky ghosts and the feel of autumn in the air.  This series makes me want to visit the Outer Banks. It will be a perfect read in front of the first fire of the season and a cup of hot cider.

I wish to thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing an Advanced Reader’s Copy for my honest review.
