About this book:
“Priscilla
is adjusting to her new life on Martha’s Vineyard. She loves waking each day to
the sound of waves lapping the shoreline and the scent of fresh sea breezes.
Though she’s still learning the culture, she no longer feels like a tourist in
the community.
But when a suitcase washes up
on shore, Priscilla wonders if there’s more in store for her at Misty Harbor
than just a change of scenery. Intrigued by the luggage and its mysterious
contents, she begins a quest to find its owner. As clues draw her closer to the
truth, she realizes life at the lighthouse could turn out to be anything but
quiet.”

I had a really hard time getting
into this book and keeping myself interested. This is the fourth Guidepost series
I’ve started reading and have noticed during these few books (thus far) that
Priscilla seems to be a different person almost every time in the way of her
personality and reactions. It’s making it a bit difficult to read at times,
really. I think I struggled with not only that but a couple other (more minor,
but still frustrating) things. A lot of people said ‘uh-huh’ when answering
someone’s question, which wouldn’t have been noticeable to me if it was only
once or twice, but it was quite a few times. (Not sure if this is a regional
thing? None of the prior books had it that I noticed…) Also, Priscilla gave her
dog a mash potato pizza and plain breadsticks (and another person gave him a pretzel)
was a bit strange to me—and super unhealthy for the pup.
I feel like I only fussed, but the ending was exciting and because I wasn’t sure who the culprit was, the reveal was interesting.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
