Review
I am not gonna lie. I was very hesitant to read this book. Because I was not a big fan of The Block Party. I would have missed a good one if I had listened to myself 😂.
Holly Sinclair, a struggling author, is dead broke. After being evicted from her New York apartment, she returns to her family’s dilapidated beach house in coastal New England. This house and this town has a lot of bad memories. Holly’s sister died here and she is determined to discover exactly what happened.
There is quite a bit going on in this novel. You have a mystery, an old house, a psychic, a young squatter, and a town that wants Holly to go away. Oh, and a rich family that is hiding quite a bit!
This is a story that is full of questions with several twists and turns to keep you guessing. Now, could it have been about 30-50 pages shorter….YES. But that did not take away from the questions of the past…and trust me! I had quite a few questions.
There are also a good many characters and POVs. So, a good tag team of narrators is warranted. This is narrated by Emily Shaffer, Jane Oppenheimer, Jennifer Pickens, and Megan Tusing. They really did a great job.
Need a good family mystery for your beach trip…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
