Series: Keepsake Cove #3
Another slow meandering choppy book which reads more like ideas than a finished manuscript. I don’t know what it is with this series, Mary Ellen Hughes has put out great books in the past, but this one, in particular, falls flat.
As the Keepsake Cove Spring Festival is gearing up, Callie Reed soon learns her ex-boyfriend Hank, and his new band, will be performing. Thinking this would be the most traumatic event of the weekend, things suddenly turn sideways when the band’s manager, Bobby Linville, is found dead and Hank is the prime suspect.
With nowhere else to turn, Callie is called to Hank’s aid and with her meandering investigative skills called into use again, since there is no officer in sight, Callie, with the help of her friends have to put the pieces together and in doing so, uncover a couple of other secrets in their quiet little cove.
The most challenging thing about this book is not putting it down to find something else to read. Though short, there is too much filler and not enough side story to keep the burdensome dialogue forefront in your mind.
