I
loved visiting Bar Harbor and witnessing Hayley in action. There rarely
seems to be down time in her days. She has family and friends who have her back, a business, a
column writing job that she enjoys, and a lovable dog. And, oh, yeah,
she solves mysteries. The column, which frequently pops up between
chapters, offers insight into her life and family/friends, all making
the reader all the more familiar with who she and they are. Even better,
there are recipes included with each column entry, a yummy extra.
I
won't detail the plot, it's easily available, but will say that this
was a fast moving plot with fun, distinct characters, and more than one
side-story. Like, who will George, or is it Chuck, choose? Will Hayley
accept that her baby boy is now a grown man? Will it be a boy or a girl? Does Lydia have anything to
worry about, well, besides the dead body in her ice cream truck
freezer? Fish? What does a fish have to do with anything? Why is Kimmy being so helpful? Will Hayley be able to convince Bruce to go on that vacation?
And, oh, well, I guess it all depends on finding the answer to the
important question, who killed Miranda and why? Hayley is a take-charge
person, so whose feathers will she ruffle? Nope, not telling. You'll
have to read the book to find the answers to these and, oh, so many
other questions. A thoroughly fun read, with characters that you'll both
wish you knew and roll your eyes at occasionally... or maybe frequently.
Thanks
#NetGalley and #KensingtonPress for the invite to Bar Harbor. Hayley's
life tends to wear me out but it's definitely never dull.
