Cedar Cove Volume 2: 50 Harbor Street / 6 Rainier Drive / 74 Seaside Avenue / 8 Sandpiper Way
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Debbie Macomber welcomes you to Cedar Cove! This is where you'll find small-town life at its best—and its most interesting…
Meet some of the people living here:
50 Harbor Street is where private detective Roy McAfee and his wife, Corrie, live. Roy's got a new mystery to solve - one that involves him and Corrie! They've been getting postcards and messages asking if they "regret the past," and they have no idea what that means.
6 Rainier Drive is the home of Seth and Justine Gunderson, who've recently had quite a shock. They lost their business, The Lighthouse restaurant, to arson. The prime suspect is a young ex-employee who disappeared immediately afterward. Is he guilty or not? As the investigation continues, Seth and Justine discover that this kind of stress is hard on a marriage!
74 Seaside Avenue - it's the lovely home that now belongs to Teri Miller, who works at the local beauty salon, and her new husband, international chess champion Bobby Polgar. They couldn't be happier. Except that Teri can tell something's worrying Bobby. Something about her?
8 Sandpiper Way.This is where the Reverend Dave Flemming and his family live - his wife, Emily, and their two sons. But when Emily finds an earring in his pocket, an earring that's not hers, she can't help being afraid that Dave might be having an affair. Especially since he doesn't seem willing to account for some of his time!

After reading the first volume of these Cedar Cove books, I figured I'd take a rest from them since my head was whirling with the continuation of so many story lines, but I didn't even make it 24 hours before getting the second volume and starting on the next book in the series. I missed everyone in Cedar Cove.
50 Harbor Street: Roy and Corrie McAfee have their own mystery to solve. Fortunately it turns out well for the McAfees, but the end of the book leaves the reader with a larger mystery that is still unresolved. Many of the couples from previous books are back, still having problems and learning to deal with each other. This series quickly brings home to the reader that there are always changes and difficulties coming and that no relationship is static. It has to grow and deal with problems if it is to succeed.
6 Rainier Drive: The mystery of who burned down the restaurant is resolved in this one as the same couples (Seth and Justine, Teri and Bobby, Rachel and Nate, Anson and Allison, etc, etc.) continue forging relationships. Ostensibly about Seth and Justine, it ranges far and wide through the town of Cedar Cove. I have to admit to some confusion in this one. The book felt a bit strange and I'm not sure why. Possibly because the relationship between Teri and Bobby has to be one of the strangest I have ever read about.
74 Seaside Avenue: Teri and Bobby settle down to marriage. Although it is an unlikely one, it works for them and I enjoyed all its ramifications, especially Bobby's appreciating that Teri makes him feel when he has never done anything but think before. Many of us will recognize the difficulties of leading with the heart when the brain has always done the leading previously. The others of Cedar Cove still play parts. Sometimes my head spins trying to keep them all straight.
8 Sandpiper Way: Dave and Emily Flemming hit a rough spot in their marriage as Emily interprets clues to Dave's absences in entirely the wrong way. A lesson in life about communicating with one's spouse and sharing one's problems. A lot of angst could have been avoided. Once again the book ends with an unsolved mystery. Aaargh! I hope there's a volume 3.

Debbie Macomber is The Best!!!!!
Ms. Macomber never fails the reader. This entire series is worth reading over and over again! Each story literally within a story gives you the feeling you actually know these people of Cedar Cove and allows you to share in their day to day joys and sorrows.

I fell in love w/ Harlequin romance again
I used to read Harlequin remakes as a teenager. I looked forward to getting that box every month. I discovered Debbie Macomber's books and I now I can't put them down. On to the next set.

Entertaining
Still unanswered questions with so many story lines going, I am hoping for more books to answer the open questions.

Enjoyed reading stories in sequence
This brook follows several families who live in Cedar Cove and the families are relatives and friends, as you would expect from residents of a small town. It was a pleasant process to watch the changes and problems of people I have come to regard as friends.
Once again Debbie Macomber presents people and places who feel real. I enjoyed watching how these people resolved their problems and became closer as a result.
