Publisher's summary

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 Addie'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....

Great cozy mystery

The police chief’s old girlfriend shows up in town at the same time anew gossip columnist starts spreading rumors. Now the bookstore is in trouble and there’s a rift between Addie and Mark and her best friend. A delightful cozy mystery and romance.

I love this series

I had to rewind when I missed clues. The narrator was good too. The character voices were interesting, funny and distinctive. A lil romance and several bad guys and some mean girls. This book is a great recipe for fun.

Treasure hunt

I like the addition of Simon to the story, however, still prefer Mark. Lacy's evil ways was really despicable would be what I disliked.

Good Story

I do agree with another reader about Addie and Mark. They need to quit playing cat & mouse and move forward with their relationship.! Overall, great book and will continue reading the series.
