Lucy’s friends, as always, add some humor and a lighter mood when needed.
Doppelgangers reign supreme in A DEATH LONG OVERDUE – whether they are people, positions, or places.Ī DEATH LONG OVERDUE has echoes from the past that bedevil people in the present, with a slew of puzzles to perplex and delight readers. However, these bumps in the road make the mysteries ten times more intriguing. Hunting down clues and talking to witnesses is made slightly more difficult when some people that were around years ago are either dead or missing now. I enjoy a novel that has a double mystery for readers to solve. The theft can’t help but captivate Lucy and the rest of her book club, since the month’s book is the classic mystery THE MOONSTONE by Wilkie Collins. In addition to the murder, there is a secondary mystery involving an extremely valuable gem that went missing years ago. Among all the variables, Lucy seems convinced that the reason Helena was killed has something to do with sins from the past. Some of the suspects seem more guilty than others, but there are one or two red herrings to work past. I think the focus in this book is more so on trying to connect crimes from long ago with more recent events. Librarian, and amateur sleuth, Lucy Richardson takes it upon herself to investigate. What starts out as a well-intentioned takes a turn toward tragic when one of the people at the reunion is murdered.īertie’s former classmates and friends are an eclectic bunch who soon turn into excellent suspects when curmudgeon, and former lighthouse library director, Helena Sanchez winds up dead. I love these types of tales about people reconnecting and the good, the bad, and the ugly that can come with that. Bertie James, the director of the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, is having her 40 th college class reunion. In addition to cozy mystery fans, this book will also appeal to readers who enjoy books and TV programs about true crime “cold cases”. "Puzzles from the past, villains in the present, and a delightful mystery!" A Death Long OverdueĪ DEATH LONG OVERDUE is the seventh book in the “Lighthouse Library” cozy mystery series by Eva Gates.
