As often happens with Penny's books, I thoroughly enjoyed various twists of the plot. Something that seems an off hand detail turns into the theme of the book. The characters are complex. No one is guiltless. The setting is picturesque, as Three Pines always is. The final lines are a perfect tie to the beginning of this story, to previous stories with these characters, and to future stories for Three Pines.
