First book in trilogy. I am a fan of Brabara Frethy.
I really enjoyed this book! I love a good mystery! I can’t wait to read the rest of this trilogy! Barbara Freethy is a great writer!
A lovely engaging read that I couldn’t put down, resenting any & all interruptions. I hated coming to its conclusion but I’ve got the following 2 books in the trilogy to look forward to.
I read this as a serial read on B&N, but I already had it in my elibrary and on my TBR list. I’m so glad I read it. It was a terrific story of mystery and romance between two people who didn’t think they could love someone. I love Barbara Freethy’s other books and this one didn’t disappoint. Now I know I’ve got to finish reading the other two books in this trilogy. Excellent read.
This book is a real page-turner. It has mystery, suspense, romance and lots of twists and turns. The plot and characters are well developed. The interaction among the main characters and their families alone is worth reading. Reconciliation between mother and daughter and father and son is heartwarming. Read the synopsis to find out what the book is about. I am expressing my feelings toward the book.
I highly recommend this book. It would be a great book to read in front of a fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate or a glass of wine!
I have found all of this author’s book are excellent!
Loved all three books in the series
Great book
Barbara Freethy is a very good author. I felt that this offering from her was slow in spots. I am not sure if it was one of my favorite plots from her.
Nice different story
Loved this book. I didn’t want to put it down. The story was interesting. It was filled with suspense and romance. Definitely recommend.
Interesting characters and a well woven plot with a nice twist of the supernatural thrown in. Definitely interested in the rest of the series.
This is the first in a trilogy, but can be read as a stand-alone novel. It was the first book I have read by this author, and immediately got the rest of the books of the trilogy and read another full series. I would categorize the book as romantic-suspense. As such, it has the usual cliches of the genre — beautiful heroine, hunky hero, both with committment issues, damsel in distress — but the plot is original and interesting and made me want to read more.
Haven’t met a Barbara Freethy book yet that I didn’t like. Really enjoyed this story, can’t wait to read Jake’s story.
I was so interested in the characters that I am reading book 2 now.
Freethy is always good…romance with some definite and interesting plots..
Well written story in familiar locales. Yes, a page turner.
Love this author books alway fun to read. A love story with a mystery plot.
Loved the story and look forward to reading the next ones.
Wonderful characters in.a great story
