I read all Sarah Jio's previous books and enjoyed them. They are quick reading, one or two evenings, but are all the same formula! Interesting mysteries between a present day woman, interweaving plots with someone from the past, and how the stories come together with a surprise ending you don't always see coming. The book kept me reading until the end, but I think it's time the author tried a different approach.

This was the first by this author for me. Not my usual fare, but she is a popular author and this one appealed to me because of the houseboat setting. I did love the description of Boat Street and all it entailed and the mystery of Penny from the past kept me reading, but in the end this is not my cup of tea. There was too much sadness and I found the ending difficult to wrap my head around. I enjoyed parts along the way, but not enough to seek out another by this author.
