4 stars I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley. It’s a fun diversion. Although the plot is not entirely original, the writing is engaging and the main characters are realistic and likable. It’s a mystery told in third-person from the alternating POVs of Guy and Tessa. I had my suspicions about who might be the villain, but I was somewhat surprised when it became obvious. For the most part, I was pretty sure I knew who wasn’t the bad guy. There are some wonderful details to direct readers toward what the author wants them to notice, like Tessa’s mother’s last words that were misunderstood and Aunt Delia’s comments about the Carlin Curse. I appreciate Oliva Drake’s attention to detail and the way all of the pieces fit together. Overall, it is well-told and I enjoyed it. August 12, 2021
