I don’t want to say that it was obvious from the beginning, but when an author mentions a character, then drops tidbits about them along the way, it only heightens the reader's curiosity and then makes it obvious which character should receive more attention.
Cranberry Island, Maine in all its autumnal beauty is marred by the discovery of a young woman who went missing twenty years ago. Natalie Barnes, the owner of the islands B&B didn’t know of the disappearance so when she began to hear the rumors and a second body, that of the island handyman, is discovered, Natalie and her team of island natives go into high gear to discover what is going on and prevent it from happening again.
Karen MacInerney, who has gone the self-publishing route, has thrown a great deal into this book and goes to vast lengths to mix up the troubles in an attempt to keep the reader engaged, but at times, goes a bit too far and makes more out of a storyline than should have been. From a reclusive multi-millionaire and his team to a discovered sunken German U-Boat to the supposedly missing daughter of her friend, the reader is pulled in multiple directions which only tends to confuse instead of enhancing each storyline.
