Description
What happends when secrets just won't stay buried? After a lifetime of heartaches, things are finally looking up for Jenny Boyd.
Daughter of a World War II hero, she's now the mayor of her small coastal Oregon hamlet and preparing for a weekend of celebration in honor of her father and his men.
But when she discovers a mysterious corpse on the beach below her cliffside cottage, nothing is as it seems.
Can Jenny untangle decades of lies and uncover the dark secrets shrouding her tragic past?
Advance Praise
Amazon: I picked up this book on the recommendation of a friend. It was a delightful read that i would recommend to you as well. The prose moves along at a jaunty pace, interlaced with loads of unique metaphors that really spark the imagination as the mystery unfolds. The clever plot moves briskly along with some very unexpected twists and turns. It is a wonderful blend of humor and seriousness. I laughed out loud at parts, but also wiped away some tears in others. The book is also sprinkled with some fascinating historical information and some real gems about human nature and the meaning of life! highly recommended. I am on to the next book by these authors, ""The Matriarch""
Amazon: I thoroughly enjoyed this book in my car as it whisked me away from the yellow and white lines of drivable concrete. This is the perfect way to teleport from the boredom of a highway trek across the US interstate. Listen to Alfie & Annabelle bring to life a thrilling story about a hero and his men and their great service to the nation during the Great War (WWII). That may sound familiar BUT there are so many plot twists and turns that you will find yourself biting the steering wheel and wondering what this veteran’s daughter will do next. If you have a long drive, a flight, or you need a book to make time’s significance disappear engulfed in this book! I know I did!
Amazon: If you’re looking to take a break and get lost in a story this is the book for you. There were laugh out loud moments with a story that kept you wanting to know what happens next. I enjoyed inner dialogue and could feel her mind racing that it made me read fast. I also gained a few insights into life. I enjoyed this book on several levels. I highly recommend.

It starts out as a simple sly humor tale about a woman who has a noisy family history. Then comes the plot twist from the pit that upends not only her life but impacts local history in more than just one small town. Well done but will be better once the spellings are cleared up. Kind of amazing.
I requested and received a temporary uncorrected proof copy from BooksGoSocial via NetGalley. Thank you!
