Resumen del Editor

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookstore on the Beach

There are secrets that bring friends together, and others that drive them apart…

Mariners Island is barely ten miles long, but when Ivy, Ariana and Cam were teenagers, it was their whole world. Beyond the pristine beaches and iconic lighthouse lies the beautiful old library that belongs to Ivy’s family. While that bound Ivy to the island as an adult, Ariana could not leave Mariners behind fast enough. The town holds too many…memories. Not only her unrequited feelings for Cam, but the tragedy that left a scar on the community.

When a young girl went missing, a teenage Cam was unthinkably the prime suspect. Ariana and Ivy knew he couldn’t have hurt anyone, and they promised to protect him—even if it meant lying on his behalf.

Now, twenty years later, Ariana returns to Mariners just as new evidence emerges on the case, calling into question everything the three friends thought they knew—and everyone they thought they could trust. What really happened that night? Over the course of one eventful summer, Ariana, Ivy and Cam will learn the truth—about their pasts, their futures and the ties that still bind them as closely as the pages of a book…

A great story from one of my favorite authorS

Once again Brenda Novak has given us a wonderful story and this time has quite a mystery with it. It was an interesting journey to listen to. The narration was great and I had no trouble distinguishing who the different characters were. As always the romance was stellar but was only a small part of this story.

I loved it!

I see some of the reviews on here that didn’t like the story. I thought it was captivating. I listened at every chance I got. The ending was a surprise as I thought it was someone else the whole book! Keep it up Brenda!

In true fashion

Absolutely a remarkable storyline. Don't let the title fool ya, it's's not just about books in a library, it's so much more. Suspense, lost or missed love declared and who REALLY done it and are they gonna get away with it. There is a couple of characters you love to hate, and I am sure we all know some like it. If your wondering about it, give it a try. I finished it and I am already looking for the next novel, because y'all... there is SOOOO much more to tell with these characters that has already grabbed your heartstrings. Excellent!!!

This One Didn't Grab Me

I usually enjoy Brenda Novak novels, but this one fell flat for me. I found the characters unappealing and the storyline only mildly interesting.
The reading was mostly ok, but I felt that some of the delivery seemed like it was a bit off, like a first reading and unsure of where inflections should be.

Dateline: Narrated by a cheerleader.

I like Brenda Novak and this could have been really good... but it was like a cheer leader narrating an episode of Dateline with stupid teenagers doing stupid stuff and then being even more stupid about it years later. I made it through, mainly to find out if who I thought was the killer really was. Then it was glossed over so quick it was as if it didn't happen. Whoever came up with the title obviously knew nothing about the story. The library was where a character worked. Had nothing to do with the story. Better titles might have been "Mystery on Mariners Island"..."Three friends and a lie"...""The Light House Mystery"...anything else.

Awesome Book

Wow Brenda you rock. Awesome book story was great sure held my attention. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

A not so great Hallmark Movie

The library wasn’t a particularly important location. A different name may have been better. A fairly predictable story. No big surprises. The story Melanie’s character really of no consequence. The narration was good though!

I enjoyed it!!

I really enjoyed it and was completely surprised as to who did it! I thought it was someone else through the whole book

Great book

This is a great book to read. This book is about three friends, one of whom is accused of murder. This was not what I was expecting, but I'm so glad I kept reading. The ending surprise me a lot. If you love a good mystery, this is a great book to read.

Not good

The narrator’s voices are so whiny and grating. The story could have been good but the characters act like they are jr high age kids instead of adults in their 30’s. The story drags. I could go on and on, but it’s a 👎 for me.
