Publisher's Summary

After a career working with rare books at the Boston Public Library, Addie Greyborne is back in her seaside New England hometown - where unfortunately, murder is not so rare....

Gossip columnists love a bold-faced name - but "Miss Newsy" at Greyborne Harbor's local paper seems to specialize in bald-faced lies. She's pointed a finger of suspicion at Addie after librarian June Winslow never makes it home from a book club meeting. And when June's found at the bottom of a steep flight of stairs, Addie's not only dealing with a busybody, but a dead body.

It's a good thing the guy Addie's dating is the police chief. But both the case and her love life get more complicated when a lanky blonde reporter from Los Angeles shows up. She's trying her hardest to drive a wedge between the couple...as if Addie doesn't have enough problems dealing with angry townspeople. Despite all the rumors, Addie doesn't know a thing about the murder - but she plans to find out. And the key may lie in a book about pirate legends that June published. Now she just has to hunt down the clues before she becomes a buried treasure herself....

A bit draggy

I really don’t care for the narrator of this book and perhaps she unwittingly slowed the pacing of the book. There were a lot of characters too.,, too many for my liking.


A good mystery doesn’t just kind of fall off a cliff st the end,

I left the last two chapters for three days and that’s where the perpetrator is found out. I found I didn’t really care about who done it.

I am not a writer so I am hesitant to criticize I think the author might just need a few more books and a different narrator.

Don’t like this narrator at all

But the story was okay. I’ll keep on with the series but may have to switch to the books due to the narrator….. ugh
