Summary
Caroline Evans is a single mom trying to raise her 15-year-old daughter, Issy, as best she can. Her ex-husband, James, was a philandering charmer, and a wealthy one at that. Their life had been lavish, but Caroline couldn't put up with his cheating and left him, taking Issy with her. And Issy has never forgiven her for this.
Now, they live in the countryside outside London, where Caroline has built a modestly successful catering business, and Issy is now at an all-girls boarding school. Things are beginning to feel normal. But when James mysteriously appears on her doorstep one night and then vanishes soon after, Caroline feels her world being turned upside down once again. Delving into a world of high-stakes finance she knows little about, Caroline and Issy must find a wary peace, and solve a murder. And Caroline also finds herself guarding a wounded heart against yet another man who seems determined to win her over.
With trademark twists and turns and memorable characters, Elizabeth Adler delivers another summer getaway novel that will leave you gasping for more.

Romantic entertainment
Just about ok if you like sweet romantic tales. There are tastes of shopping, sex, consumerism, wronged women and children, true and untrue love and a bit of crime. The narration is ok but irritating with his pronunciations. It took me a while to realise that agar meant Aga as in stove.

Spoiled by the narrator
This imaginative and well written story was complete,y spoiled by the hopeless narration. Maybe if a book is based in the Uk, the narrator should be British? An AGA is not pronounced Aygaaaaaarrr and many other commonplace words were mispronounced or just guessed at? Such a shame as this just irritated all the way through.

Annoying
Nice story. The narrator perhaps wasn’t the best, Not sure she had an English accent. Very strange. Pronounced AGA… Agar just my opinion.

A Narrator With an English Accent is Needed
Kept on to the end but with difficulty. The pronunciation of certain words were very jarring, Aga being a prime example. An English accent may have improved the tedium of the story especially as the story is mainly set in England and about English characters.

not one particular point
I found the narrator did not always follow the grammatical syntax and was sometimes distracted (irritated) by seemingly 'tacked-on' words which changed the meaning of the phrase or emphasis wrongly positioned in phrase. almost as if it was the first reading. in my view AGA (cooking stove) has always been pronounced with two short 'a'. The use of a long 'A' for the first was very sisconcerting.

Enjoyable read
Just a few Americanisms in a supposedly English setting. Henry VIII had 6 wives not 7. The kitchen stove is not pronounced Agar it is Aga as in Aga Khan. Bangs and barrettes along with bus boys just take away from the listening experience as a Brit, along with the occasional slip into an American accent - but then maybe I’m too easily distracted or just plain ‘picky’. Overall enjoyable.
