10.21.2023 - Dreaming of Water

Dreaming of Water by A.J. Banner 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, Amazon Publishing, for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by a favorite, AJ Banner - 4.5 stars!

Astrid vowed never to return to Heron Bay, WA, after the tragedy of her little sister's drowning years ago.  Reeling from her divorce and the news that her best friend is now with her ex, she also gets a call from her beloved Aunt Maude, saying that Astrid needed to come right away to look at a letter she found.  When she gets there, she finds Maude on the floor, unconscious, and police fear at attack.  Now Astrid is desperate to find the letters that Maude told her about and to try and understand why someone would hurt Maude.  And is Astrid next?

This was an intriguing mystery, forcing Astrid to confront her past and all her family secrets.  Astrid never got over feeling guilty about her sister's death and her mom didn't help.  With Maude unable to speak, Astrid is left to try and figure things out on her own.  I also thought Astrid's job of document and handwriting analyzing was fascinating.  Another great read by this author!
