A Death Long Overdue is a delightful cozy mystery with a card catalog, a discourteous former library director, a disrupted reunion, a curious cat, and a forbearing beau. A Death Long Overdue Eva Gates 4.14 1,943 ratings319 reviews Want to read Kindle 12.99 Rate this book When her former director is found dead in the water, librarian Lucy Richardson will have to get to the bottom of the mystery before the killer ends her tale. The ending will have fans of the series smiling (I wish I could say more but I do not want to spoil it for you). I enjoyed the library exhibit that included a card catalog, library withdrawal cards (the card you signed when you checked out the book), and a Commodore 64 (I had a Commodore 64C). It was fun following along in the investigation and seeing how it all came together. There are a variety of suspects along with good clues and a red herring or two. I thought it was well-plotted with interesting details. I just love Lucy's adorable little apartment. I can envision the library thanks to the authors vivid word imagery. The Bodie Island Lighthouse Library is a magical place. I like catching up with all of them even Louise Jane. The author has created a great cast of characters which includes Lucy, Connor, Bertie, Charlene, Ronald, Aunt Ellen, Josie, and Charles. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading this charming series in order. A Death Long Overdue by Eva Gates is the 7th A Lighthouse Library Mystery.
