THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING LIBRARY LOVER'S MYSTERY FROM THE AUTHOR OF DUE OR DIE
“Avast” in pirate speak means what?*
Answering tricky reference questions like this one provides plenty of excitement for library director Lindsey Norris. But when a shocking murder is committed in her cozy coastal town of Briar Creek, Connecticut, the question of who did it must be answered before an innocent man gets the book thrown at him...
Lindsey is enjoying her second year in Briar Creek as the library director, meeting with the crafternoon club, and happily dating tour boat captain Mike Sullivan. But when a salvage company arrives in town to dig up treasure buried on Pirate Island over three hundred years ago, the locals are torn between protecting the island and welcoming the publicity.
In spite of the squabbling, Charlie Peyton, Lindsey’s downstairs neighbor, takes a job with the salvage company. But when Trudi Hargrave, the local tourism director who hired the company, is found murdered at the excavation site, Charlie becomes the chief suspect. To help him, Lindsey must do some digging of her own before the real killer buries the truth for good…

Customer Reviews
Enjoyed It!
I love the characters in this series, and it was great to be back in their world again. The more I get to know Lindsey, the better I like her, and Sully is a completely wonderful character! I was so happy with the closeness between them in this one until it fell apart at the end. It was very sad after how well things had been going. It seemed like an awful direction to take right at the end of the book, and kept me from giving the book the 5 stars that I had expected. I sure hope these two will be back on track soon!
A treasure hunter is in town and is following a treasure map that supposedly belonged to Captain Kidd. Not everyone in town is on board with digging for treasure, and soon a well known resident is found murdered. Lindsey and Sully become involved in the investigation and soon find themselves in danger.
The storyline in this one was interesting, and it kept me guessing. The book was quick and easy to read, and was delightful until near the end, when things fizzled between Lindsey and Sully. The book ended on a low note, which didn't seem to fit with the rest of the story.

Is this a young adult book?
Each of these books is getting a little more unbelievable. The lead is quite annoying and does things without thinking. She acts like a teenager, not a woman in her thirties. The weird relationship drama is tedious and immature. I don’t read cozies to skim pages and pages of the lead pining over a love triangle.
