Enjoyable story.
Emily cannot forget what she knows about her sister’s death and that is not letting her settle down at Sugarfalls. That is when Emily’s mother comes and tells Emily that it was very possible that Emily’s sister may still be alive.
The story continues from there as Emily is not willing to believe that her sister is alive.
Henry is dealing with another murder investigation.
The two murder plots have been weaved together excellently well and it was unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable. The characters were very etched and their interactions were excellent. The best part were the two mysteries. Enjoyed it.
This is my first Sugarbury Falls book and I quite enjoyed it. I didn’t have any trouble following along though I’m sure it would be richer with the full backstories. Emily and Henry are smart, inquisitive people Emily’s mother a force to be reckoned with. Diane Weiner cleverly weaves two plot lines together so that the story moves quickly with lots of moving parts and held my attention right to the end.
I received an advance copy of this book and this is my honest review.
This review is for the audio book.
I loved this book. Having just got a puppy it was so appropriate to listen to this book now, with all the animal antics that went on, When I listen to this book again in a few months time it’s going to bring back some memories. But the animal fun is only a small reason I enjoyed book because let’s face it if you are listening to this you want a good mystery and boy is it good with so much happening. This is book five in the series and if like me you have been here from the beginning then you are going to get a lot of answers answered, the book continues on from the last book and if you haven’t been here from the start, where were you? The main mystery was very unusual and I liked the unique murder weapon (a bit scary if you stop to think about it) . I also had no clue who the killer was. Another surprise I liked was that characters from the author’s other series play a part in resolving the side mystery, a nice crossover to another great series. Just a great book that I will be listening to again.

I like the narrator. She has a pleasant voice that she used well when bringing this story to life.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
A well written story that includes a young sister’s death by drowning, family drama, murder mystery and much more that kept me turning pages to see where it would all lead… and I enjoyed every page. Thanks Diane Weiner for a very pleasurable read.
