Lucie's Review: After the death of Amy's brother, Ben, she goes to Rosemary Cottage on the Outer Banks of North Carolina to mourn and find the answers that she's been looking for. Amy uncovers, with the help of Coast Guard Officer Curtis, another side of Ben that she'd never seen before, his secret life.
But as Ben's past unravels, his death begins to look more and more like it wasn't an accident...
A well written mystery, with well developed characters and a pulsing plot that intertwines to weave a riveting tale. There was definitely a lot going on! And the mystery kept me guessing, with some wild turns along the way!
This book works great as a stand alone, but I also loved how it let me catch up with the characters from the previous book, and know that they were doing well.
There were some great side characters, I have honestly never read a Colleen Coble book that I didn't love!
Overall, a fast read, with plenty of adventure, mystery, and a tale about facing the truth no matter how terrible it may be. A great book that I highly recommend!
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank You!
About Rosemary Cottage: Amy came to Rosemary Cottage to grieve, to heal, maybe even find love. But there's a deadly undertow of secrets around Hope Island . . .
The charming Rosemary Cottage on the beach offers Amy Lange respite she needs to mourn her brother, Ben. She's even thinking of moving her midwife practice to the Outer Banks community. It's always been a refuge for her and her family. She also wants to investigate Ben's disappearance at sea. Everyone blames a surfing accident, but Amy has reason to wonder.
Coast Guard officer Curtis Ireland has lost a sibling too. His sister, Gina, was run down by a boat, leaving him to raise her infant daughter. If anyone knew who little Raine's father was, Curtis could lose his beloved niece. Yet he can't help being drawn to Hope Beach's new midwife, Amy. He even agrees to help her investigate what happened to both Ben and Gina.
Can two grieving people with secrets find healing on beautiful Hope Island? Or will their quest for truth set them at odds with each other . . . and with those who will go to any length to keep hidden things hidden?
