After a career working with rare books at the Boston Public Library, Addie Greyborne has moved to her seaside New England hometown to open her own shop specializing in rare and collectible books. In the second Bookstore Mystery by Lauren Elliott, when a local librarian disappears, Addie has to follow clues left in a book about pirate legends so she can hunt down the killer before she becomes buried treasure herself!
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 she'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 . . .
