A Lighthouse Legacy is the fifth book in the Gift Shop Mysteries fiction series.

Gift shop owner Sarah Morgan is helping Justine Hendricks, a young scholar, with a research project--but then a nineteenth-century logbook and diary entrusted to the student disappear! Since Justine is part of a group volunteering at the lighthouse, there are plenty of possible suspects around her who could be responsible for the theft. To make matters worse, rumors are swirling that the lighthouse is haunted--a thing Sarah does not believe for a moment.

Soon Sarah and Justine are drawn into the compelling story of a nineteenth-century woman who may well have been Michigan's first official female lighthouse keeper. Sarah will need all her sleuthing skills if she is to uncover the surprising connections between the modern-day theft, the strange happenings at the lighthouse, and this dauntless woman from the past.
