About this book:
“As
autumn leaves and cooler temperatures fall on Martha’s Vineyard, Priscilla
finally seems to be finding her sea legs and feeling at home on the island.
However, a ghostly visitor, known as the
“weeping Woman,” begins to show up nightly on the cliff outside of her home.
Why is she there? Is someone trying to scare Priscilla away from her beloved
cottage and lighthouse! If so, could a local art dealer be involved? Does an
eccentric woman with a crush on Gerald imagine Priscilla to be such a threat to
her unrequited romance that she wants her gone? Or are the eerie apparitions
part of a cruel Halloween prank played by a gang of troubled teens?
A chain of mysterious events pushes
Priscilla to find an answer to the unearthly visitation before someone takes
things to a dangerous level!”

My
personal Rating- 
This book wasn’t exactly my cup
of tea, unfortunately. Priscilla seemed different from the prior books (more
thinking (typically negatively) about others’ appearances) and confronts
someone who is lying to her cousin somewhat harshly, which was kind of
disappointing. This could be due to the series being written by different
authors. It wasn’t as light and fluffy as I expect for a Guidepost mystery, so
overall it wasn’t great in my eyes. (If you really enjoy Hallmark
Mysteries, then you might like it, but it wasn’t for me.)
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.
