When I see a book by this author, I do not even read the synopsis I dive in headfirst.

Lucy returns to North Hampton Beach after leaving 15 years ago.
Her father is in prison for a triple murder, and the entire town turned their back on her when she was 17,
In spite of it she has made her way and is back because all the pieces of the puzzle don’t fit.

She’s not the only one who’s back her ex-boyfriend from that time Ford is back also, and soon they begin working together to clear her father’s name.

I loved every page, I got so invested in this story and in Lucy and Ford! This is one you will not want to miss

I was given an ARC copy of this book in return for a review.

Another great read from Brenda Novak. Pick up your copy in June 2025.

Lucy's father is in jail for the murder of three people. Lucy believes that he is innocent of one of the murders and she returns to her hometown to try and find out what really happened to Aurora the night she was killed. Ford (her boyfriend at the time of the murders who abandoned her at the time) is also back in town and hires a private investigator to help solve the mystery of Aurora's death. Pick up this novel to find out if Mick (Lucy's dad) really killed Aurora or anyone for that matter and if not, who did.

Another great Brenda Novak book. Lucy’s father has been in jail for over 15 years and she hasn’t seen him. But now she has doubts that he committed the murders. With the help of an old flame she begins to investigate. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommended it
