5/11/2023 0 Comments A Death Long Overdue by Eva Gates![]() ![]() ![]() A Death Long Overdue is a delightful cozy mystery with a card catalog, a discourteous former library director, a disrupted reunion, a curious cat, and a forbearing beau. The ending will have fans of the series smiling (I wish I could say more but I do not want to spoil it for you). I enjoyed the library exhibit that included a card catalog, library withdrawal cards (the card you signed when you checked out the book), and a Commodore 64 (I had a Commodore 64C). It was fun following along in the investigation and seeing how it all came together. There are a variety of suspects along with good clues and a red herring or two. I thought it was well-plotted with interesting details. ![]() I just love Lucy's adorable little apartment. I can envision the library thanks to the authors vivid word imagery. The Bodie Island Lighthouse Library is a magical place. I like catching up with all of them even Louise Jane. A lighthouse library will be on my bucket list to visit and read an Eva Gates book there. The story was believable, characters personable and I loved the ending. The author has created a great cast of characters which includes Lucy, Connor, Bertie, Charlene, Ronald, Aunt Ellen, Josie, and Charles. I laughed out loud at several scenes, cried at a scene, guessed wrong several times and enjoyed the twist on a class reunion. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading this charming series in order. A Death Long Overdue by Eva Gates is the 7th A Lighthouse Library Mystery. ![]()
