The Summer House is a gripping page turner which kept me on my toes and constantly changing my suspect list. WOWZA! This book was fantastic!
Twins, Lana and Ollie, have returned to Mead House after their grandmother’s death. They knew going back was going to be difficult. Their grandmother, Kitty, had recently died and the home was also where their older sister, Camille was murdered in the Summer House on the property. Talk about a double whammy. Plus, Ollie has brought along his never-mentioned-before finance who happens to be a major who-know-what. She does not save that drama for her mama; she unleashes it for all to enjoy (or not).
While going through the home getting it ready for sale, Lana finds her sister’s hidden journal. As she beings to read, she realizes that her sister had shocking dark secrets. After learning some ‘truths’ about her sister, Lana begins to question what she saw the night her sister was murdered and if her testimony sent an innocent man to jail. The man in jail, was her then boyfriend’s older brother. Is he innocent as he always claimed? If he didn’t kill her sister, then who did?
Wanting to know the truth, Lana being looking for answers….
Talk about juicy! Boy did this book keep me on my toes. There was never a dull moment, the book never loses momentum and becomes even better with each page. This book has a little bit of everything that I enjoy in a book – family dynamics/drama, first love, revenge, secret romance, murder, suspense galore, second chance romance, a great mystery, and an engaging plot. Woohoo!
This book was well written and full of likeable and unlikeable characters. I loved the suspense and the looming danger in the last part of the book. Like the characters, I began to wonder who could be trusted. I was glued to the pages doing my own super sleuthing and finger pointing.
I can’t wait to read what Keri Beevis writes next!
