A police procedural set on Nantucket, this book is a must read for mystery buffs. Character driven, the ending‘s revelations shocked me. Triggers: child sexual & physical abuse. #readyourkindle #September

After work journaling & reading. Beautiful afternoon: soft breeze, 73 degrees, bird song, leaves at the tip of turning. Feeling relaxed & content. #75Soft #porchlife #MondayMood #MoodMonday

I was surprised by the negative Kirkus review. I enjoyed this story of four generations of women haunted by losses. Each generation has a gift related to memory and this gift leads them on sometimes foolhardy paths as they seek to find answers about a sailor that faced an angry whale. 🐋 This unusual novel earned a 3.5/5 ⭐️ rating for reminding me that the relationship between mothers and daughters can be complicated.

I have a finish! I'm just not sure what I think of it. For more than half the book we get a LOT of the main detective character exercising, deciding what to eat, describing Nantucket in way too much detail, thinking about his history- with plenty of info about his parents, wife, and sons- and, occasionally, thinking about the case he's been sent to oversee. The bones of a young child have been discovered at a construction site, which they've been

bookandbedandtea able to narrow down as being from the 70s-90s. But there are no reports of missing children from that time period. Several times I nearly quit because nothing seemed to be happening. Then, suddenly, the reader realizes something that reframes the story and some relevant information finally turns up. Now the whole thing has become pretty interesting. Even the sloooow beginning made sense but it was such a slog to get there. Between pick and so-so. 3mo

The first in a new series, I can‘t wait for the second. This novel went to a place I could not foresee. Talk about being blindsided. Detective Tommy Kelly is sent to Nantucket Island to oversee the discovery of a child‘s body. The case is more than cold and there seems to be no chance of solving it when he and the local detective Jo Harris get a series of lucky breaks. This novel will flip you on your head. A great series beginner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In a first for me1 I watched the show before reading the book. The book (of course) is so much better. The ending is different. Perfect summer page turner .

The little Greek chorus at the beginning of each chapter helped to keep me in time. And I liked that there wasn't a spotlight on every weekend. I enjoyed getting little vignettes from the various characters, dipping in & out of their lives and seeing how they had grown & changed (particularly Ursula & Leland!) But I hate this was framed around an affair and I hate Jake for carrying on an affair for YEARS, even before he was married.
