This is a good start to this series with a good outlook that it’s going to be a really good series. Usually it takes a book before I can get into it, but this one drew me in right away. I already feel like I’m part of the story. Yvonne's bored with her life & her business in Boston. She had done the same job for security to raise Ian & send him to college. Her son, Ian is now a lawyer & on his own taking care of himself. She wants a change of pace. She tired of the same ole thing all the time. So, she closes her business & decides to go to Diamond Cove where she came to the Murder Mystery Theater with her grandfather when she was young. The main characters as well as the cast of supporting characters are very interesting & have all fitted right in. It has a lot of mystery, unsolved disappearance, romance, heartache and town gossip that can causing a lot of problems for Lance & everyone involved. It’s very interesting so far, although there is a lot of repetition of what’s going on. I got a feeling it’s going to be quite a ride!

I received a free ARC book & I am leaving my own review in my own words without any influence of the author. Fasten your seat belts. I think this is going to be quite a ride.

"What does she really like?"
Ahh!!!! "Diamond Cove" where her Grandfather used to take her to the spooky Dinner Theater.
Well get ready for the ride....

This is the series opener of what promises to be a really good one. It is already pulling on the heartstrings with the main characters as well as the cast of supporting characters. It has a bit of it all so far, mystery, unsolved disappearances, romance, heartache and town gossip that can cause torment.
This is not a standalone book and ends with a cliffhanger.
I received an ARC and I am leaving my own thoughts without the influence of the author.

No ending

There was no ending. That was too weird. The book just stopped. Now you need to get a book that's not even available.
