Only two seasons matter in Coho Bay, Alaska – cruise ship and winter. Caribou King, owner of The Broken Antler Gallery, is hip-deep in tourists when her old college pal Taylor shows up asking for refuge, saying she has no place else to go. Cara is cautious; Taylor was the wife of one of Alaska’s most renowned artists––Jonathan Snow, who was mauled to death by a bear the previous year. Why would … would his widow want to return to the location of her tragic loss? Something about Taylor’s story just doesn’t ring true.
Of course, she may not be the only liar in town. Taylor’s former father-in-law accuses her of killing his son in front of a diner full of people, except he may have had a stronger motive. A handsome boat captain seems to fancy both Cara and Taylor but he can’t make up his mind between them ––or between lying and telling the truth. The local constable mistrusts everyone, but may have a reason to be mistrusted himself. Will Cara help her old friend Taylor, or will doing so get her into a heap of trouble? When a headless body is discovered in the bay, Cara wonders just who she can trust in this tiny town.

I really enjoyed it! I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good read! I received this book for free and I am writing this review of my own free will.
Worth the read
I enjoyed reading this book. I found it particularly interesting and informative about a region that I have never visited.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It presents a very insightful look at life in Alaska. The characters were well developed and unpredictable. The descriptions of the land definitely spoke to the reader so that I was able to feel as if I had been there. I was glad that the ending was somewhat of a surprise. I would choose this author again.
This was a great read which had me guessing until the very end.
It kept you guessing.
A suspense book which didn’t reveal the ending until the end. The characters displayed humor throughout and made for easy reading
Love the setting in Alaska, love the characters, love the twist and turns. Honestly, I could not put this down and finished it in a day; just had to know what happened next.
Sorry, but I found this book to have inconsistent writing which was very annoying.
This was a very well written mystery. I could hardly put it down.
Enjoyed reading about the setting and the surprise ending.
great read. Makes one want to experience Alaska
Started out slow once the story pickup keep you guessing untill the end I don’t like first person but don’t mind when I got into the story
Loved it but had to re-read the last chapters twice to be sure that I knew what had happened. Felt like I needed a scorecard or chart to keep track of characters and what they had or had not done. I loved it. Loved the way it ended. I haven’t had to work so hard for a story in a long while. And still thinking about it.
This was an excellent book, I could hardly put it down. The authors writing style is flowing and very easy reading. I would recommend this novel to anyone.
Liked it a lot. Definitely will read more of her books.
I could not put the book down, waiting for the next release which I preordered
I think this book was a good read!!!!!!
Liked it, love the setting too.
Great characters, but story was full of holes. Not realistic at all.
