[Arthur · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent story. Main events are rather long but to get to the point about where it appears good nature grants positive settings in one of the provinces of Canada. Its discovery about 1979 a bush plane disappearance between Flin Flon and Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I don't know where to begin, but this was just awful. It could have easily taken place in 1920s (the small-town life and the closeness of all family members) and the main character's age could have been in the 8Os (making tea, collecting berries for jam, chatting with the postmistress at the post office). The cover was very deceptive, as it turned out to be a crime investigation. Emily was unusually trusting of a complete stranger (Matthew) in a time when that is no longer the norm.

I have a vague impression that I've maybe read this book before, but it may be that I've only read another in the series about three cousins living in the northern part of Canada. Anyway, the heroine has remained at home to look after her eccentric mother, who has pretty serious issues, and not only can't relate well to others but loses track of what she's doing and has at least once caught the kitchen on fire. The hero is the nephew of the local detective and has come to town looking for 15 missing gold bars that were supposed to be transported from a mine to Winnipeg but went missing with the plane they were loaded on. The plane has been found, 20-some years later, with no pilot and no gold. The hero plays it cagey when he arrives, playing up his relationship with the uncle and keeping mum about the investigation. Because her long-dead father knew everyone involved in the theft, the hero makes a point to get to know the heroine and her mother. The heroine is attracted and the first part of the story is mostly romance. The last part is mostly solving the old mystery. It's a good story, more mystery than I expected, and pretty slow-moving, but a good read. I liked it.

It took awhile to really get into this book, the first few chapters were slow moving, but still a good story line. Around page 180 I could not put the book down, from there it was very fast moving and very interesting. I would recommend it to people that enjoy a cute story. I wouldn’t classify it as a superromance novel though (as the book was categorized in that area).
