4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of great characters
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018

This book is filled with lots of great characters and their history. It’s has a main love story set against the mystery suspense of the twenty five year old disappearance of a heiress. The story centers around Dani, spa owner and bottle water entrepreneur, who grew up motherless because her mother went missing when she was little. The impact of that disappearance is far reaching going back generations.
The book was a fun read as it jumps from present to past with ease and I loved the mystery of finding out what really happened to Dani’s mom. Good romance too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story

As always, Carla Neggers creates likeable characters, even the sometimes irritating ones. I even ended up feeling bad for a not so nice guy. I liked that scenes and people are described well without a ton of words. I fell in love with Saratoga and would love to see it. This book was a fairly fast read as the action was continual and didn't get lost in too much side stepping or explanation. The author excels at her craft.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2018

Intriguing Easy to follow stand-alone. Some violence, no drag-you-down drama.

This storyline involves three generations and has several twists throughout. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking and snarky dialogue.

'He supposed he ought to be grateful he still had all his faculties: he could recall every asinine thing he’d done and said in the past century.'

No desire to re-read this story. I am always interested in works by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Plot Twisting Family Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2016

I loved the title and had to read this mystery novel about a dark eyed beauty born into a family of ‘legends and scoundrels’. Dani runs a luxury spa hotel and a water bottling plant. Even though her relations have millions, she insists on doing everything alone. Dani’s solitary nature is a result of her mother disappearing a long time ago--without a trace—well there is a possible clue with that golden key-- her mother wore as jewelry. Ever since she found the key there have been strange things happening around the bottling plant. A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist comes to town and so does a casual guy with an easy smile who says he’s a security expert called Zeke. Meanwhile, there are family disputes, history lessons and photographs churning up the past. As the tension builds, so do trips to the hospital emergency room. Sparks fly and so do the bullets in this family tale containing Hollywood glamour, bi-coastal greed and blackmail. It’s quite a twisting, turning tale and I have to admit I had a little trouble following the plot and the names of all the family members but I still enjoyed it and definitely loved the ending.

This was the first mystery I've read by this author.. it was was terrific! I stayed up all night trying to finish this story. I just couldn't find a good place to stop. Families are always full of secrets in one form or fashion. However, this family enough for many, many families. I was hanging until the end. Great stuff!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2009
Verified Purchase
I had hoped when I started this book it would be an improvement, but
unfortunately not, story was very plodding, no real action, and when
there was some so called 'danger' it was over in a blink of an eye.
The two main characters I found to be rather unemotional and not very
interesting, and quite honestly I was glad to get to the end of the
book. Not one of her best I am afraid.
