This is book #6 in the Heaven Cove series. Whilst it is a series, it can easily be read as a standalone as each book focusses on new characters, In this book we meet Caitlyn and her sister Isla. Their grandmother, Jessie has recently died and Caitlyn returns to Heaven's Cove with her step-daughter Maisie to sort out Jessie's affairs. The two women, whilst were once close, have drifted apart over the years and now both are holding back secrets from each other.

This is such a fabulous series, one which I've enjoyed more and more with every new book. I love how we meet new and different characters every time, yet still get to see the delights of the little village of Heaven's Cove. Caitlyn and Isla are likeable characters, although both are holding things back. Isla is initially more likeable and I could connect with her more. Caitlyn however is definitely the more feisty of the two sisters and I loved watching their relationship progress, wondering if they could ever get back to how they were many years before.

There is, as with the other books in the series, an element of mystery, and in this book it comes in the form of a mysterious riddle set by their grandmother, Jessie. I loved the discovery of long lost ancestors and also new found ones, and wondered along with the two women just how they all linked up together! The book is set in the run up to Christmas making it a festive read, and I loved being in Heaven's Cove when the snow begins to fall!

This was a wonderful story which I absolutely adored reading! I loved the family relationships and dramas, the little pieces of history and of course the mysterious puzzle to solve. Coupled with the scenery, the likeable characters and meeting some of the other characters from previous books, this book for me was perfect! A delightful read which I would definitely recommend!

I love these books. They never disappoint you. This time 2 estranged sisters whose grand mother has die. You have old and new love. A riddle. A step daughter who’s neither real parents want. It is brilliant. Snow and old lady who know secrets. A lying husband Just fantastic . Read it. Liz Eeles writes fab books.

I am enjoying htis series of book by this author and this one did not disappoint. Set in a beautiful English coastal town, two sisters are reunited after their grandmother has passed away. Left with a mysterious clue to solve, the sisters will find what family means. A good read for a rainy cool day.
