"Between the Lines" by Elizabeth Adams


About this book:

  “When Mary bumps into her neighbor one summer evening, she’s glad to see that Cathy has a new man in her life/ the couple is heading to the marina to take a sunset whale-watching cruise, and Mary wishes them well. But the next day Mary sees that Cathy’s newspaper is still lying on the porch and her mail hasn’t been collected. As the days go by, it’s clear that Cathy never came home that night and is now missing!
  When Mary starts asking questions, she learns there was no whale-watching cruise. So where did Cathy and her date go? Is she in danger? It will take all of Mary’s sleuthing skills to read between the lines and find her friend before it’s too late.”

My personal Rating-
This mystery kept me interested because I wasn’t sure how it was going to play out. It was a little rushed at the end, but other than that, it was an interesting story.


See y’all on Friday with a new review!
