I am really enjoying this series. This is the third book and I can see growth and character development with both Lindsey and Sully. Who know being a librarian in Briar Creek was such a a dangerous job. I like Lindsey's character. As I have said before I find her to be mature and relatable. The secondary characters really add dimension and depth to each of the books. I like that Lindsey's circle of friends is so diverse in age, experience and profession. Each one has something distinct to offer. I really enjoyed the mystery in this story. I was distracted by the false trail of clues laid out by the author. I was surprised by the identity of the killer and thought the reveal was very climatic. I will say, the one thing I was disappointed with was Sully's reaction at the end of the story. However, something tells me I will be happy with how things eventually turn out.
I am really enjoying this series in all it's aspects - characters, location and mystery. I'm off to pull the next book off my TBR shelf.

I’m glad I stuck with this series because I’m enjoying each book more than the one before. This one left us with a little romantic cliff hanger at the end so I’m anxious to get to the next one.

Book #77 Read in 2016
Book, Line and Sinker by Jenn McKinlay
This is the third book in a great cozy mystery series. Lindsey is a Library Director who seems to always have to solve a murder in her small town. This series has a great small-town setting, interesting characters and enough book talk to make book lovers happy. In this book, an island is thought to have the treasure of Captain Kidd and of course people are hoping to get rich quickly. But at what cost?

Did not love this one as much as I’ve enjoyed the first two. But it was good having a bit of a circle back to the ex-fiancé. The mystery was not as interesting but attempted to be more interesting. Just didn’t love it. But I also listened to this one rather than reading it. I hope I can read then next one instead of audible.
