This is one of those predictable feel-good books that are nice to read occasionally. The story is about four people, all complex recognizable characters that could be in our own lives. Paxton is a wealthy young woman who tries to be perfect. In her mind she never succeeds but to others she is just that - always dressed perfectly with not a hair out of place. Wilma is a single young woman whose grandfather built a mansion for his bride. Known as The Joker in high school, she has become a shop owner in her hometown leading a quiet life. (Her family had lost their fortune when the lumber industry collapsed.) Colin, Paxton's twin, returns to help Paxton restore the mansion and falls in love with Wilma. Paxton and Sebastion are friends. What happens when a skeleton is found on the grounds by the mansion leads all of them to investigate the past. What happened and why? This is a pleasant quick read for a relaxing afternoon.
