Leave reading about thee earlier times on the island. I live in southern portion and it's amazing how much I still learn about the whole island with every book I read.
This one starts out with Emma and she's been to the wedding of Reggie and hears all about his escapades. Bessie Lehr is upset, her husband she fears wants her dead so he can take over her inheritance. He has no money of his own and doesn't want to work.
Love the scene on the beach with boys being fished out. Love caves and tunnels where, in Portsmouth there were rum runners during the time frame.
Such scary situations Bessie finds herself in.
There are so many episodes of harm and even death to others that were meant for Bessie, or were they?
Love how Emma and Derek are able to gather clues and find out who's at fault. Jessie their friend also helps out as the police had finally been summoned. Love learning about how certain events are still ongoing today in Newport that generated from the early 1900's.
Love hearing more about the stables in Portsmouth and at the end what is at the location of this house now. Know friends who work there. Amazing how the author makes a full circle to the story. Easy to keep the characters straight and all scenes are described so you can picture yourself in them. Glad baby was introduced to us, what a cutie!
Received this review copy from Kensington Publishing | Kensington via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
