This is a short book andI have a strange fascination by lighthouses so when I came across this title it got my attention. The Murder word was a bonus. This is a short book and it had my interest the entire time. It was so easy to like Libby, the main character and the venue of Exham on Sea.
The plot was simple enough but very interesting and entertaining. The final reveals were unexpected and it all wrapped up nicely.
I had some trouble keeping in mind all the characters because there were a lot, or so it seemed, and because I was reading another book at the same time.
I will definetely read book 2 and will try to read it soon....more

O facto de3,5 estrelas Decidi ler A ESCOLHA DA NOITE porque ocasionalmente gosto de um romance leve e bem humorado e as crÃticas eram muito positivas. O facto de o protagonista ser pai de uma menina só tornou tudo irresistÃvel, adoro um romance que inclui uma criança.

Then I can imagine the words whispering to each other, sharing stories, making up new ones. Sci-fi chatting to romance; American history exchanging views with Brazilian politics; Vietnamese cookbooks swapping tips with Indian. And my beloved mystery characters listening in on everything, perhaps taking notes."

*** Lucy's dream has come true. Since vacationing on the Outer Banks as a teenager, it became her favorite place in the world. Getting a job as a librarian assistant at the Lighthouse Library was the best thing that could happen to her and I feel so envious of her LOL
For the most part of this book I felt truly fascinated by the scenery of the Bodie Island and a library in a lighthouse - how cool is that? Very cool. The characters were so adorable. Later on, the fascination diminished a bit because nothing exciting was happening but, still, it was a great pleasure reading about the daily routine in the bookshop and the occasional missing book - oops!
I hope to return to this wonderful lighthouse and see what the characters are up to....more

I can't rate this book better because I found the plot too confusing but I had a feeling of such a great comfort reading it. I'm going through a terrible and long reading slump but even so, this book captivated me from the beginning. It was a great joy knowing Addie, Serena and Marc, reading about books and characters who enjoy books....more

Por acaso tive sorte neste mês, li 4 thrillers muito bons. Foi uma forma boa de terminar um ano merdoso.
Gostei muito de Ben e Ally e, no geral, da história deles, mas reconheço que ali a meio já estava cansada da relutância e teimosia de Ben. Ele tornou-se guardião da sobrinha na sequência da morte dos pais dela mas isso não faz dele um mártir nem exige que ele faça mais que qualquer pai/mãe.
Ler sobre pequenas vilas tem um encanto especial que não faltou aqui. Gostei muito de Pine Hollow e das suas gentes. Fez-me lembrar um cenário tÃpico da Hallmark, deveras encantador....more
From a Christmas novel I expect good humor, an overwhelming joy and happiness so it was weird to feel a vibe of sadness and drama from the beginning. From a Christmas novel I expect good humor, an overwhelming joy and happiness so it was weird to feel a vibe of sadness and drama from the beginning. Still, I didn't give up and finished it. I didn't even like the characters - but I loved the setting, perfect for a Christmas book. I didn't care anything about the secondary characters and had no interest in reading so much details about the inn and its problems. Charlie's issues were just ridiculous and incomprehensible. It was all nonsense. I'm sorry......more

Have you ever seen a baby in an old people's home? They are worshipped. They become divine."
*** My second Christmas book of the year and it couldn't be much better. I fell in love with it, it's so damn cute and adorable. Also I felt fascinated by the descriptions of Edinburgh and I've been looking at photos of this city to better visualize it in my mind while reading. This is making me want so much to visit Edinburgh and I'd never considered it before.
Some chapters back I peeked the ending because, well, I just had to know. There's a bit of a romantic triangle. Well, not exactly romantic as nothing really happens, it's more of an interest of Carmen in 2 men and I had to know how it ended before reaching the end and I was super glad and enjoying more the reading knowing Carmen ends with the man I wanted her to pick.
Did I mention it's super adorable and funny?...more

Ao 4º livro acho que já não há dúvidas que C.J. Tudor se tornou numa das minhas autoras must-buy/must-read. Tem sempre ideias intrigantes, enredos diabólicos e arrepiantes e os seus livros são, simplesmente, irresistÃveis, de leitura compulsiva.
Houve algumas nuances no enredo que me deixaram um bocado perdida, a forma como assuntos e personagens do passado se interligavam com os acontecimentos do presente. Mas fiquei muito contente por, a umas 100 páginas do final, uma ideia se ter desenvolvido na minha mente e que se revelou correta.
Começou muito bem. Os protagonistas estavam a divertir-me e emocionar-me mas, infelizmente, a partir de certo ponto, o encanto passou.
