After a career working with rare books at the Boston Public Library, Addie Greyborne is back in her seaside New England hometown--where unfortunately, murder is not so rare . . .Gossip columnists love a bold-faced name--but "Miss Newsy" at Greyborne Harbor's local paper seems to specialize in bald-faced lies. She's pointed a finger of suspicion at Addie after librarian June Winslow never makes it home from a book club meeting. And when June's found at the bottom of a steep flight of stairs, Addie's not only dealing with a busybody, but a dead body. It's a good thing the guy she's dating is the police chief. But both the case and her love life get more complicated when a lanky blonde reporter from Los Angeles shows up. She's trying her hardest to drive a wedge between the couple . . . as if Addie doesn't have enough problems dealing with angry townspeople. Despite all the rumors, Addie doesn't know a thing about the murder--but she plans to find out. And the key may lie in a book about pirate legends that June published. Now she just has to hunt down the clues before she becomes a buried treasure herself . . .

We are back in Greyborne for book 2 and I am thrilled! An unknown gossip columnist starts to jeopardize Addie’s name (and book store) when they claim Addie had something to do with the local librarian turning up dead! Addie is determined to prove her innocence but someone is after her every step of the way and even goes so far as to leave some suspicious packages on her front porch! Another thorn in her side is the ever manipulative, Lacey. She’s back in town to help her ill mother but she has her sights set on Marc. The Founder’s Day Festival is the talk of the town in this book and while everyone else is deciding on costumes to wear, Addie is investigating secret tunnels and pirate legends! There was a love triangle introduced in this one that I hope is quickly squashed -I’m not a fan.
