Until the day Vera gets a phone call that his body has been found...washed ashore in the tiny island town of Winter Haven, Maine. His only surviving kin, Vera travels north to claim the body...and finds herself tumbling into a tangled mystery. Her brother hasn't aged a day since last she saw him.

Hugs, everybody!

I never did get the book, but maybe it just got delayed because I moved last month. I hope it eventually comes because I would like to read it! But I did post about it anyway!
Not sure why I didn't get this one either...ah well. Posted!

Long story short. I was spammed by a blogger profile. Killed my Firefox. Now using Safari, yes I'm a mac user. Blogger acting weird, dunno if it's Safari or blogger. Going out of town, life in a weird rush. Was able to use the HTML to make most of it work in a fairly normal fashion. Review will be posted when I return from out of town!
