About this listen

When a traveling show of impressionist art comes to Nags Head, North Carolina, librarian Lucy and the staff at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library are inspired to create an educational display about art history. Their launch of the display is a huge success, but the morning after, they discover that a reproduction of a famous painting has gone missing. No one knows why anyone would bother stealing it: the picture is of no value—the real, priceless painting is under lock and key at the art show itself.

Lucy gets an invite to the glitzy opening night for the real show, where she notices unusual tension among the show’s organizers. Then, the man scheduled to give the welcoming speech fails to arrive, and a party-goer is discovered drowned in a fish pond.

Meanwhile, Louise Jane is totally captivated by Tom Reilly, a handsome, charming art dealer lurking at the edges of the receptions on both nights. Tom slipped away from the party early, and he cannot be located by the police. Who, Lucy asks, is Tom Reilly, the shadowy figure threatening to break Louise Jane’s heart?

Something is afoot in Nags Head, and it’s up to Lucy and her friends to get to the bottom of it before it’s not just paintings being framed.

Happy there is another book in the series!

I was thrilled when I saw another book in this much loved series was coming! Overall, it was very good. I really enjoyed the developing friendship between Lucy and Louise Jane. However, I missed some of the regular characters in the other books that barely got a mention or no mention at all. I need to know what is going on with everyone!

Lucy is at it again

another wonderful story from the Lighthouse library. An art exhibit, a dead body, and a painting missing then returned. Fun story and a very good ending.

A Big Change

Our heroine can’t always work with the police! But love and friendship win out. Very Good

Good Plot, Good Characters

I really like the development of the friendship between Lucy and LJ. I did miss Charles being more involved and his intuition.
