Meh...cliched and predictable, but well written
8/10
This book was a random pick for me, but I‘m really glad I decided to give it a try! The story kept twisting and turning, thickening the plot and characters with it. I really enjoyed the setting and characters in the book. Letty‘s character was super easy to root for and I adored her love for Maya; specifically her dedication to keeping her promise to Tanya! As a reader, it was easy to WANT to pick up the book! Definitely give this one a read!
3.5/5
Nice beach read, quite predictable, but somewhat entertaining. Not a book crush though.
Letty flees to Florida with her four-year-old niece after discovering her sister's body. In Florida, she stays in a motel, which address she found in her sister's "escape bag." There, she'll discover some of her sister's secrets.
I love when I find a new author! This is the perfect beach read…a mystery that finds Letty and her niece hiding in Treasure Island Florida to figure out who killed Letty‘s sister. A mystery and a love story with snowbirds of Florida thrown in for comic moments.
I really liked this book! I liked the characters for the most part and also liked the storyline. I think some of the decisions made by several characters were horrendous but it didn‘t take away from the story. Good mix of mystery, suspense, and romance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I always enjoy books by Mary Kay Andrew‘s and this book was no exception. It is a typical beach read but also has a mystery thrown in. I enjoyed the story overall. I really liked the characters, especially the main character, Letty.
A dozen digital library books all came in at the same time! 🥺 This is first up.
A light, entertaining beach read, but way too long.
This book is the perfect beach read. It has aspects of a mystery while still painting romantic and lighthearted components.
I like Mary Kay Andrews for a good summer read, and this book was no exception. In fact, I didn‘t even find any of her characters annoying as all get out (which sometimes happens with her). The story was interesting and somewhat suspenseful yet feel good at the same time. This is the book I should‘ve had with me at the beach a couple of weekends ago instead of all the dark books I took. 😊
For a book tour last week, this is a good book for your beach or pool bag with some thrills, some romance & lots of drama. Letty is on the run with her young niece Maddy after finding her sister dead. A magazine article in the “go-bag” her sister had soon have her hiding from her sister‘s ex at a Florida beach motel with a kindly owner with a hot & suspicious cop for a son. A little predictable but I enjoyed the characters & setting. Here with ⬇️
Be sure to add this book to your TBR.
Totally enjoyable….terrific, heartwarming story line and great characters.

Another great beach read brought you by Mary Kay Andrews. When this book opens we meet Letty who is on the run with her four year old niece Maya, after her sister Tanya is found dead. Letty is the main suspect, but she knows somehow her ex-boss and sister‘s ex-boyfriend is the culprit. She winds up in a small motel in Florida because her sister indirectly lead her there.
Review is up on my blog. Check it out. I listened to this one and it was fantastic! @StMartinsPress #audible #audiobooks

Full review 5/7
Secrets, secrets, and more secrets. How many did Tanya have, and who killed her?
A delightful and at times comical read even though there was a murder and some unsavory characters.
Totally enjoyable….terrific, heartwarming story line and great characters. 5/5

Middle of the road novel for me. The cover implies a light beach read, but this one had the drama and anxiety amped up too high for this genre for me in my Covid state of mind.
