Struggling through painful post-divorce healing, columnist Glory English sustains another emotional shock. Discovery of her deceased mother’s uncompleted letter sends Glory unexpectedly to Ogunquit, Maine. Although her mission is bittersweet, she is entranced by Maine’s serene lifestyle. When she befriends energetic restaurateur Frannie Oliveri, they form a business partnership for a new waterfront restaurant. Glory’s ambition is clouded, however, when Alex Howard enters her life. Talk of his wife’s mysterious death haunts her and strains her friendship with Frannie. But when Glory and two teenagers are missing, Frannie and Alex form an unlikely alliance to find them, hopefully alive.

Good, Ogunquit Maine setting

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great beach read - especially if you've been to Ogunquit, Maine because it is set there. She captures the atmosphere and spirit of the town perfectly and it's fun to see real places referenced.

I picked up this book because of my love for Ogunquit, Maine, the setting of the story. It's a good mystery, kept my interest until the end.
