Wow! This was an interesting read filled with good mystery, suspense and surprises and was a celebration of true love and family values.

It is told in alternating storyline about a granddaughter and the grandparents she never met.

This small town read touches on family, love, relationships, history and choices. The author treated the sensitive topics with grace and dignity.

I love the alternating storyline where we are treated to budding romance between Becks and Townsend and Keaton and Bowen. It also allowed us insights into the past.

The mystery was done beautifully and it took almost to the end to figure out what exactly happened. My conspiracy theory was disproved.

The small town aspect was good. It was interesting getting into residents’ businesses and lives. 

If you are looking for a nice summer read with a fantastic location then you should consider this.
