Many thanks to NetGalley, Simon Schuster, and Megan Miranda for the opportunity to read her latest thriller - a great read!
This book takes place in coastal Maine at a resort town that exists mostly for the vacationers who flock there during the summer. The ones that stay all year are a different breed - mostly there to serve the other half. Such is Avery - alone after her parents died in an accident and her grandmother passed away, she lives in the guesthouse of the Loman's, a rich family who owns many rental properties. But she got the job through her friendship with Sadie Loman, who took her under her wing and encouraged her parents to hire her. At the end of one summer season, during an annual party, Sadie is found dead. Did she fall off the cliff on purpose, by accident, or was she pushed? Everyone at the party, including Avery is considered a subject but when a suicide note is found, the case is dropped. The next summer, Avery finds things aren't the same and finds herself still under suspicion, especially by Patrick, Sadie's brother. And things just aren't the same in town.
This is a great mystery - told in Avery's voice the summer Sadie died and the following summer. I loved the fast-paced storyline and I could picture the beautiful yet dangerous Maine coast. Greet summer read!
