Delivering books to the housebound residents of the Thumb Islands, just a short boat ride from the town of Briar Creek, library director Lindsey Norris has befriended two elderly brothers, Stewart and Peter Rosen. She enjoys visiting them in their treasure-filled, ramshackle Victorian on Star Island until she discovers that Peter has been killed and Stewart is missing. Now she's determined to solve a murder and find Stewart before he suffers his brother's fate.

Super charming

4 stars

I’m grading these books generously because I listen to them while I fall asleep at night and they are perfect for that. The characters are likable; the murders aren’t gruesome enough to give nightmares; if you fall asleep it’s easy to rewind to a spot you remember. I love them for being cozy and cute.

The only thing I don’t like is the feeling that there must be very few eligible women in town for every single man to be desperately in love with the main character. Very MarySue-ish there.
