Description
Spring has sprung in the Outer Banks, and librarian Lucy has finally moved into her new historic cottage on Nags Head Beach with Connor. While she's happily immersed in her work at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, planning her wedding, and decorating their fixer-upper, a dead body disrupts their peaceful new abode. The house, with its unfinished rooms and unsettling noises, already carries whispers of the past, including the tale of a teenage daughter who fled forty years ago and never returned. But the unsettling sounds turn out to have a very human, and deadly, origin.
When Lucy and Connor discover an unknown dead man in their kitchen, they learn he has a long-standing connection to their home. Lucy finds herself compelled to uncover what happened decades ago, a mystery that now threatens her present happiness. As her Classic Novel Reading Club delves into Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables, a tale of another old house steeped in secrets, Lucy must search for parallels that might help her unravel the truth before the killer strikes again.
