By Book or by Crook

Book #17 Read in 2015
By Book or By Crook by Eva Gates

This is the first book in a new cozy mystery series.  I knew I would love it since it's set in a library, has Jane Austen's books at its center and there is a library cat named Charles after Charles Dickens.  I was not disappointed.  This book had good twists and turns which kept me guessing the killer's identity to the very end.  The library staff characters were interesting and engaging.  The setting of both the library (in a lighthouse) and the town (small, beach town) were great to read about and visit.  I enjoyed this book a lot and will read book #2, out in September.  I borrowed this book from my public library.
