Whose Body in the Library A Lighthouse Library Mystery
By Eva Gates
First published 2026
A new librarian’s first day goes terribly wrong when she finds a dead body on the front steps of the library. In the thirteenth installment of the beloved Lighthouse Library mysteries, a new character takes the reins. While Lucy McNeil is enjoying her new job as the mother of twin boys and library director, new librarian Nichelle Gilchrest has just arrived at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, reporting for duty. But life throws a wrench on Nichelle’s first day when she finds a body on the steps—a body that bears a startling resemblance to her father, who disappeared on a fishing trip to the Outer Banks thirty-eight years ago. Fingerprints confirm the dead body is indeed Nichelle’s father, now living in Nags Head under the name Brian Saunders. Brian had been befriending older lonely women in exchange for money, but was he working alone? Detective Rhonda Thomas is on the case, and the suspect list is only getting longer.
