Hallie Knight is summoned to a historic seaport town by Nicholas Trench, the critically ill grandfather of her former college roommate. Months earlier, Trench's granddaughter Susan mysteriously disappeared from his home and all attempts to learn her fate have failed. He feels that if anyone can find Susan, it will be this woman who was his granddaughter's closest friend.If Hallie is to succeed, though, it won't be with the help of the suspicious relatives who surround the old man. With Susan out of the picture, who among them stands to inherit Trench's money? And why does Hallie suddenly feel so vulnerable in this outwardly peaceful seaside town?

Read like a soap opera. It floored me that Hallie went back to her cheating husband. I believe in forgiveness and redemption, but it seems like her husband could have been a lot more penitent. The mystery was not very interesting. I don't think Whitney is going to fill my Mary Stewart cravings.......more

Goodreads review by debbicat *made of stardust* on December 02, 2015

I really hate to write it, but this was just ok. I generally love Whitney. I did not love this book. The characters were good and interesting. I liked the setting. I just wasn't into it. A bit slow. I wish I had liked it better.......more

Goodreads review by Katrina on January 11, 2014

Phyllis Whitney is as always a superb authoress but the problem I have with this book lies with the characters of Anne and Hallie. What kind of weak willed woman goes back to a man who cheated on her? Men who cheat have no value and trying to cast them in that sort of light is repugnant to me.......more
