I am an avid mystery reader, preferring cozy mysteries to hard-core mysteries. Although there was a foreshadowing of trouble to come in this book, I was truly impressed that the first half of it was spent developing the characters and their relationships with each other. Then BANG! the protagonist's daughter goes missing and you find yourself plunged into a full-fledged suspense novel. There are plenty of twists and turns, and I was completely caught off guard when I found out 'whodunnit.' A rare blend of mystery and a compelling story of a mother who wants to reconnect with her teenage daughter. Lots of humor, too!

I don't like sequels, so I was hesitant about this one. But once I started reading, I was amazed! It was actually better than the first book in the series...and that was pretty great in the first place. I'm anxious to see how the 3rd one is.

Read this one for bookclub, and I liked the twists in the plot. I did think the foreshadowing was pretty heavy, but not so much to totally give it away. It was also fun to read because it is set here in the Lowcountry where I live.

The second in a series. Again, a good "beach" book. Good story. I recommend reading the books in order.
