I had high hopes for this book. The premise was interesting – Eve Lloyd, a newly divorced woman, decides to visit her aunt for a month-long visit while contemplating the next phase of her life. However, upon arriving at her aunt’s home on Rock-Maine Island, she finds that her aunt has gone missing and that there is a murderer on the loose.
Being the outsider on the island, Eve is regarded with suspicion and people want her gone. Though Detective Jack Bradford has things well in hand, Eve is unwilling to sit idly by and, with the help of her new friend and fellow suspect, undertakes the task of finding the killer herself.
I wanted something lighthearted and entertaining. What I got was a story that was silly and annoying at turns with occasional bits of actual sleuthing thrown in.
Rating: 2 stars
