My role today was to ensure that if we had to decorate the lighthouse, it would fall somewhere in the bounds of good taste, if such a thing can be applied to Halloween.
Against the wishes of Bertie James, our library director, Louise Jane had managed to convince the board of the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library that a special Halloween exhibit was a good idea.
If there’s a Halloween version of the Grinch, I’m it. “Why does that not come as a surprise to me?” said Louise Jane McKaughnan. “Where’s your sense of fun?” Ronald said. It bounced as it hit the white and black marble tiles. Ronald dropped a gravestone on the floor. I’ve never been a big lover of Halloween, mainly because, frankly, I don’t consider being scared at all fun. My colleagues burst through the library doors, weighted down by gravestones, skeletons, and a giant black spider. Thanks also to all my friends in the Canadian writing community, including Barbara Fradkin, Mary Jane Maffini, Robin Harlick, and Linda Wilken for continuing support and friendship. I am very grateful to the fabulous cozy community, in particular the Facebook page Save our Cozies, for their love of cozy mysteries and their determination to see favorite series continue.Īnd Matt Martz and Sarah Poppe at Crooked Lane Books, who gave readers what they wanted, and Kim Lionetti at Bookends, who facilitated it. With The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on everyone's minds and ghoulish gossip on everyone's lips, Lucy will need to separate the clues from the boos if she wants to crack this case without losing her head in The Spook in the Stacks, the delightful fourth in national bestseller Eva Gates' Lighthouse Library mysteries.To “SAVE OUR COZIES.” You know who you are and you did it! Is Lucy at her wit's end? Or can it be that the Bodie Island Lighthouse really is haunted? Meanwhile, very strange things are happening at the library―haunted horses are materializing in the marsh, the lights seem to have an eerie life of their own, and the tiny crew of a model ship appears to move around when no one is watching. Now, it's up to Lucy Richardson and her fellow librarians to bone up on their detective skills and discover who is responsible for this wicked Halloween homicide. Unfortunately, while the library is hosting a lecture on ghostly legends, Jay becomes one of the dearly departed in the rare books section. Wealthy businessman Jay Ruddle is considering donating his extensive collection of North Carolina historical documents to the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, but the competition for the collection is fierce. Halloween in North Carolina's Outer Banks becomes seriously tricky when librarian Lucy Richardson stumbles across something extra unusual in the rare books section: a dead body.
