A Hundred Summers

-
It's Memorial Day and New York socialite Lily Dane has come back to Seaview, Rhode Island, where her family stays for the summer. Unfortunately for Lily it's not going to be quite what she expected - the Greenwald's have decided to spend their summer in Seaview as well. Budgie is Lily's former best friend who has recently married Lily's former fiancé, Nick Greenwald. She inserts herself back into Lily's life as if she didn't steal the love of her life. But secrets and lies will eventually come out and turn everyone's lives upside down. 

I love, love, love the author's writing. It's descriptive, flows smoothly, and is easy to get lost in. The book has great characters and alternating chapters of past and present - how Lily and Nick met, fell madly in love and how their engagement ended, and now, almost seven years later, how they react to seeing each other for the first time since it ended and how Nick came to marry Lily's best friend.

DCI Erika Foster is called to a murder scene where the victim is found dead in bed with a plastic bag over his head. As DCI Foster and her team are looking for clues as to who could have committed the murder, another victim is found dead in bed with a plastic bag over his head. All they know at this point is that there is a calculated serial killer out there stalking the victims before going in for the kill. What could possibly link the victims to their killer? DCI Foster will do whatever it takes to find out. Another great book in the DCI Erika Foster series! It's well-written. It's descriptive, it's vivid, it's a page-turner. It has strong characters, great pacing. I can't say enough good things.

The cruel irony is that he just killed his three best friends with a simple text that said "Where are you guys? Text me back." He blames himself but he's not the only one - Mars's father, who is also a judge, is pushing for a criminal investigation into Carver's actions. But Carver's not alone. He has supportive parents and a supportive older sister. He's become close with Eli's girlfriend Jesmyn. And Nana Betsy, Blake's grandma, is on his side. Nana Betsy suggests they spend a day together sharing their memories of Blake and to say a proper goodbye.
