I don't know how to write this review without some minor spoilers, so SPOILER ALERT!!!


I liked the story, and it was a fun read, The small coastal town backdrop and characters living there were all great. The constantly shifting POV got in the way though. And one of the POVs turning out to be an unreliable narrator bothered me. Staying first person through the death felt like a cheat. Overall I don't think I connected with any character as much as I wanted to because of it. Wish it had just been from Dandy's POV. But I enjoyed it, and now I need to book a vacation to a charming coastal town and find some pirate treasure.

Fabulous book. I'm a fan of this style of mystery, coming at you from various angles. All characters are great. But I very seldom am surprised by them and this one has a twist I hadn't seen coming at all. A quick and fast paced read. Highly recommend.
