By book or by crook

By book or by crook / Eva Gates, 339 pgs.

Lucy Richardson has just relocated to the Outer Banks from Boston.  She leaves behind her over-involved family, an almost fiance and Harvard where she was a librarian.  Now she is assistant director at the Lighthouse Library on Bodie Island.  Her aunt Ellen and her family are there and childhood memories.  Her cousin Josie runs a bakery that seems to be the most popular business in the area.  When the library board president turns up dead and two volumes of a loaned Austen collection go missing, things get exciting.  Charles (as in Dickens) is the library cat dedicated to making everyone's library experience better...ha, who am I kidding, he is mostly dedicated to make HIS daily experience better.  The first in a series.
