** spoiler alert **
           In terms of basic plot structure it's very similar to the recently published Sugar and Vice by Eve Calder (2020). Both have the promise of pirate treasure combined with two mysteries: a modern day murder and a cold case.

Jenn's status as a recent arrival, being only in her second year as the library director, means she lacks the full range of local knowledge that others in her life have. It lessens her ability to infer correctly from information she's presented with. As she is our main source of information, it makes her a somewhat unreliable narrator.

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?
