Publisher's summary

"Kathleen McInerney narrates a charming story that transports listeners to the sunny beaches of Florida...McInerney slips a slight Southern accent into her narration that works well." (AudioFile magazine)

New York Times best-selling author and Queen of the Beach Reads Mary Kay Andrews delivers her next blockbuster, Hello Summer.

It’s a new season...

Conley Hawkins left her family’s small town newspaper, The Silver Bay Beacon, in the rearview mirror years ago. Now a star reporter for a big-city paper, Conley is exactly where she wants to be and is about to take a fancy new position in Washington, DC. Or so she thinks.

For small town scandals...

When the new job goes up in smoke, Conley finds herself right back where she started, working for her sister, who is trying to keep The Silver Bay Beacon afloat - and she doesn’t exactly have warm feelings for Conley. Soon, she is given the unenviable task of overseeing the local gossip column, "Hello, Summer".

And big-time secrets.

Then, Conley witnesses an accident that ends in the death of a local congressman - a beloved war hero with a shady past. The more she digs into the story, the more dangerous it gets. As an old heartbreaker causes trouble and a new flame ignites, it soon looks like their sleepy beach town is the most scandalous hotspot of the summer.

NIce light listen.

THis was an easy listen...a light mystery, light romance... nothing earthshattering but a good story. No real twists or surprises. Narration good but I thought the protagonist sounded sort of young/naive. Other than that good. Someting to listen to between the thrillers and WWII stories when you need a break.

"Absolutely absorbing and uplifting"

I loved listening to this book! The story carries you away from Covid-19 and all your problems.

A wonderful storyline with endearing characters.

I have listened to this Audio several times.... It is certainly worth the credit!
