The Spook in the Stacks

The Lighthouse Library Mysteries, Book 4

By: Eva Gates

Narrated by: Elise Arsenault

Halloween in North Carolina's Outer Banks becomes seriously tricky when librarian Lucy Richardson stumbles across something extra unusual in the rare books section: a dead body.

Wealthy businessman Jay Ruddle is considering donating his extensive collection of North Carolina historical documents to the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, but the competition for the collection is fierce. Unfortunately, while the library is hosting a lecture on ghostly legends, Jay becomes one of the dearly departed in the rare books section. Now, it's up to Lucy Richardson and her fellow librarians to bone up on their detective skills and discover who is responsible for this wicked Halloween homicide.

Meanwhile, very strange things are happening at the library - haunted horses are materializing in the marsh, the lights seem to have an eerie life of their own, and the tiny crew of a model ship appears to move around when no one is watching. Is Lucy at her wit's end? Or can it be that the Bodie Island Lighthouse really is haunted?

With The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on everyone's minds and ghoulish gossip on everyone's lips, Lucy will need to separate the clues from the boos if she wants to crack this case without losing her head in The Spook in the Stacks, the delightful fourth in national best-seller Eva Gates' Lighthouse Library mysteries.

Spook in the Stacks

I expected a silly little read, but it was actually quite fun! If you’ve been to the Outer Banks, you will probably enjoy it. A fluffy little mystery/romance took the nerves off of Election Day!

Good cozy

This is a good cozy mystery. The performance of the narrator is very enjoyable. The characters are typical but not overly cliched.

great series

Really like this cozy mystery series and love that it is set in the Outer Banks!

This is a fun murder mystery

The Spook in the Stacks is a fun, light murder mystery. It contains mystery, suspense and a touch of humor and romance.
There are twist’s and surprises.
The Narrator, Elise Arsonsult, did a vey good job narrating. She was fairly consistent with the “voices “ and placed all the emphasis in the right places.
The author created believable characters and described the scenes very well. It was easy for the reader to connect and feel a part of the story.

Perfect Cozy

Great read. The characters are so well done. Halloween theme is fun but not overdone. Can be read any time of year.
