This book begins with a mystery and ends with a cliff hanger!
This is the second book in the Whitecliff Bay Series and readers will recognize many of the same characters from the first book. When Millie was seventeen she found her then best friend, Nicola, tied to a tree, her hair cut off and one of her shoes strung up. Nicola does not remember anything and begs Millie not to bring up what happened to her again.
It has been fifteen years since Millie and Nicola have spoken but someone strung up her missing shoe in her garden. Is the person who strung her up all those years ago trying to send her a message?
As Millie begins to investigate what happened to her former friend, she realizes that she and her friend Nicola are not the only ones with secrets and that someone knows something. Small towns know how to keep secrets, they seldom forget them, and everyone tends to know your business (Millie knows this better than anyone). Who has a secret in Whitecliff, that they want to keep buried? Will the truth come out? Who harmed Nicola all those years ago? Who can be trusted?
This was a great mystery that kept me on my toes. I enjoyed getting to know some of the characters better in this book. There are quite a few twists, turns and secrets along the way. With that cliff hanger, I am looking forward to diving into the next book in the series.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
