Book one in the Books By the Bay Mysteries series. This series takes place in small town called Oyster Bay in North Carolina. We get to meet Olivia who lives with her poodle Captain, has more money then she needs, and has a family history that she wishes the rest of the town could forget about. Having purposely kept to herself over the years she find herself feeling as if she needs some extra interaction with others. She has been attempting to write a book for quite some time now so when she is invited to join a group of aspiring authors she is really tempted. With a few words of encouragement from her best friend she decides to take the chance and evens goes so far as to renovate the old lighthouse cottage to give them somewhere to meet besides the distracting cafe. As they come to the first meeting after she joins the author of the meeting fails to show up but when they go looking for him they find him dead. Olivia finds herself unable to investigate which of course places her in danger though it all works out well in the end (the dog even helps in his own way). This is a really cute cozy mystery that has well developed characters, lots of details, and a flow that keep the reader turning the page until their are no more left. I really enjoyed it so it gets 4/5 stars.
