I‘m really enjoying this cozy mystery series, primarily because it‘s set in the Outer Banks at a library. I think this is just as good as the first book and I‘m looking forward to reading the third. It will be interesting to see when Lucy has to decide between her two male suitors!

JamieArc I read the first one right before vacationing in the Outer Banks and visiting the actual lighthouse. Sadly, there is not a library there. Still fun to see in real life! (edited) 2y
keys_on_fire I was just there the week of June 20th, but couldn‘t get anyone in my group to go to the lighthouse with me!! Next time for sure!! @JamieArc (edited) 2y

The second in the Lighthouse Library Mystery Series and we meet Lucy‘s mother, Suzanne who gets herself into a pickle. Of course, Lucy is there to solve the mystery and save her socialite mother‘s reputation. A nice follow-up to the first book in the series. Lucy was a little more developed in this one, and we started to learn a little more of her backstory/home life. Looking forward to more in the series.

Another one for #SeriesRead2021

Librarybelle I love this series! 3y
TheSpineView Excellant! 👍📖🤩 3y

This is the second book in the series. It is a fun series to read. Set in the Outer Banks, NC along with a lighthouse library! The characters are interesting and each book gets more in depth with them. If you like books, libraries, lighthouse you will love this series. #cozyinthesun #number15

I‘m still new to cozy mysteries and I love this series. It has my two favorite things wrapped into one: a library inside a lighthouse! ❤️ In this installment, Lucy‘s mother comes to the Outer Banks for a visit and one of her friends from high school is found murdered on the lighthouse grounds. #MountTBR

JamieArc Ooh. It has two of my favorite things as well: books and the Outer Banks. I should check out this series. 4y
NatalieR @JamieArc I highly recommend it! 😊 4y
TEArificbooks I love this series. It does stand out as an excellent cozy series. There are so many cozy series and some aren‘t that great. But this one is. You may also like The Seaside Cafe series, first book is Live and Let Chai 4y

14. *Among The Ruins* (not finished yet)
15. The Haunting Of Hill House
16. Lady Mechanika Vol2
17. If We Were Villians

Cinfhen Yay Liz!!! Despite your health and vision acting up you still read soooo many books!!!! If you click #socialmediafocus it should take you to past books read. I read a free book from Kindle titled #MeToo but it was #MoreMehThanYeah 5y
JazzFeathers 👏👏👏😀 5y
Lizpixie @AsYouWish thank you! @Riveted_Reader_Melissa great minds & all that. I have 8 left on your #NonFiction2019 too! I find this is the hardest part of the year for challenges, the only ones left are usually ones you‘re not looking forward to or have no idea how to fill🤔Thanks for the tip for #social media focus 5y
Lizpixie @Cinfhen thanks my #sisterfromanothermister✌️being chronically ill is mostly a bonus for reading time, unless of course you‘re having a flare & are too sick to even do that.Thankfully the new glasses have helped so much with the vision, as long as I remember to put my eye drops in, it‘s fine(though I have a hatred of anything wet in my 👀)The incredible support from you guys has meant so much to me as well, thank you from the bottom of my heart♥️ 5y
Lizpixie @JazzFeathers 😘♥️♥️♥️ 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa For 12 though, I highly recommend this one, there is a drink on the cover, but it‘s a quick picture book about an introvert and reader. So quick, fun read. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa And for book about addiction, I read another graphic memoir, if you have any interest 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hope it helps, enjoy whatever you decide to read. 5y

Book 7 #cozyinthesun @Librarybelle @ferskner I read the first book in series years ago and loved it. Then I found out the publisher canceled the series after 3 books. But now the series has returned so I decided to read book 2. It is a great cozy series. I think I love the setting, a library in a lighthouse on the Outer Banks, and the librarian characters the best. Oh, and the library cat Charles of course.

Lea I loooooove this series 💖 5y
Librarybelle One of my favorite newer series! And, so glad it‘s being published again! 5y
IndoorDame Love this series! 5y
ferskner Oh wow I hadn't heard it was picked back up! That's wonderful! 5y

I really want to like this series — libraries, lighthouses, mysteries — but the main character, Lucy “Never Met a Conclusion I Couldn‘t Jump to Despite Lack of Evidence” Richardson drives me crazy.

Traci1 I liked the first one and felt like it had potential to be a good series, but I didn't care for book 2 as much and really didn't like book 3. 5y
KathyWheeler @Traci1 so it goes downhill from here? I thought book 1 had potential although I wasn‘t in love with it. This one just wasn‘t that good at all. 5y
Traci1 @KathyWheeler well, I thought the third was pretty bad all around. There was tons of what felt like forced "character development." It just didn't ring true. 5y
KathyWheeler @Traci1 I may just skip it altogether then. 5y

I am hooked on this series. This one has Lucy‘s meddling but loving mom as the prime suspect. The characters are so delightful and the mystery moves at a good pace. Got the next one already! #readwomen #cozymystery

Librarybelle Such a fun, good series! 6y
Kshakal @Librarybelle I agree... I am picking up the third one from the library tomorrow and can‘t wait for the fourth in June!! 6y

Punny library cozies are really not that great, in my experience. But I still can't resist them. At least this one is reading quickly.
