Seven years ago, Abigail Browning's husband Chris was murdered after only four days of marriage. No arrests were ever made. Abigail quit her job and joined the police academy. Now a cop with the Boston Police Department, she receives an anonymous tip about her husband's death. Abigail decides to take time off from her job and return to Mount Desert Island, Maine, to see if she can solve her husband's murder. Owen Garrison still lives on the island. He heads the local search and rescue team. Owen was Chris' best friend and the person who found Chris' body. Now he teams up with Abigail to find the killer.

This story didn't work for me. The first half of the story we were introduced to many characters, all of whom were on the Island when Chris was murdered. We flashed back to Abigail and Chris' honeymoon and the mysterious things that were happening during that time. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Carol Monda. I had a hard time figuring out if we were flashing back to the past or if we were in the present. There were also two characters that I thought were fourteen-year-old teenagers. Turns out they were adults who just talked and acted like teenagers. The romance between Owen and Abigail seemed to come out of nowhere. They've known each other for years, but suddenly they are in love. I will not be continuing this series. My rating: 2 Stars.
