Publisher's summary

It's springtime on Cranberry Island - and love is in the air. It seems like every woman has the hots for buff trainer Dirk De Leon. He and his equally gorgeous business partner, Vanessa Black, are leading a weight-loss retreat at the Gray Whale Inn - forcing innkeeper Natalie Barnes to lighten up her butter-laden breakfast menu.

The mood on the island darkens when two grisly discoveries are made. The first is a skeleton walled up at the island's lighthouse. The second is a corpse of the fresh variety - the handsome Dirk! Could the spirit that once embodied the skeletal remains - perhaps the lighthouse keeper who disappeared a century ago - be responsible for Dirk's death?

The police pin the blame on Natalie's boyfriend, who - to her dismay - had a long-ago fling with Vanessa. To find the true killer and ease her own aching heart, Natalie must untangle the knot of jealous girlfriends and spurned admirers that once surrounded the hunky trainer.

Narration Distracting

This is the 3rd book in the series (and I’m reading them in order). I continue to really like the setting, the Inn and the characters in general. The plots hold my attention and it’s fun to imagine living in a place like Cranberry Island. As the first one that I’ve listened to as an audiobook, I found that the narrator was extremely distracting in the way that she pauses before and therefore emphasizes every “I said,” “she said,” and “he said.” I’ve read many, many audiobooks and have never experienced this before. Otherwise, the reading is pretty good, so perhaps it makes this fault is even more glaring. I do wish that the romance between Nat and John was not so fast and easy. It’s just too unrealistic when there are so many other things that also require suspending disbelief. I mean, moving to a sparsely populated inn and having a handsome, single man, just the right age as your tenant/neighbor? And the fact that he’s connected with law enforcement and that the two of you have an immediate attraction? Too much!!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES AND BOOK

IF YOU HAVEN'T YET MADE THE ACQUAINTANCE OF NATALIE, JOHN, CHARLENE, AND THE OTHER CITIZENS OF CRANBERRY ISLAND, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING. START WITH BOOK 1, THOUGH, AND READ THEM IN ORDER SO THAT YOU GET TO KNOW THESE CHARACTERS AND SEE HOW THEY GROW AND SOME EVEN CHANGE. KAREN DOES A FABULOUS JOB OF MAKING THESE CHARACTERS COME TO LIFE, AND REBECCA DOES THE SAME WITH HER NARRATION. I AM A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF HEAD INJURIES NAT IS SUFFERING, BUT IT SEEMS TO COME WITH THE TERRITORY. GO GET BOOKS 1 AND 2, IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THEM AND THEN GRAB THIS ONE. ENJOY!
