Light beach read

Cute fun paranormal romance

While likely not an uncommon response, I loved this book. It was the first book I've read in a bit, and I found myself unable to put it down. I never read it in school, and think I can respect it even more reading it outside of that context as it was by my own accord. Similar to The Handmaid's Tale, another one of my favorites, I found this story to not be too far off from our reality, which made it ever more significant to me. It certainly deserves a place on all bookshelves! The only reason it got 4 stars is for its vague, rather unsatisfying ending, although it was likely left this way on purpose. However, I will forever be upset that Clarisse did not welcome Montag at the end of the story with the others by the rail tracks!

Kept me on the edge of my seat. Always a new twist. I recommend this book!

There is something about this author. She captures the lazy, hazy, slow motion vibe if Martha's Vineyard. So much so, that the feeling of whispering waves and warm sun lulls the reader into drifting along with the story. Aside from atmosphere, she writes people and families in all of their weird, coiled complexities that is somehow familiar, no matter how foreign.

This mystery is part of the author's series about Richard Jury who is with Scotland Yard. He is called to a case in a small town the murder is very mysterious and the murdered man a bit of an enigma. The characters are interesting with Jury being a warm hearted man with many unusual friends and an interest in poetry. The plot is intriguing but the ending a little disappointing

Very good. Well done immersive world, multifaceted characters

Light hearted and short

Really good novel exploring relationships and grief and how it’s handled. Plan to read other books by this author!

Interesting enough to keep reading but preposterous situation.
