I was really surprised by this book after reading rave reviews from others. The writing, characters, and verbiage were extremely juvenile. All of the characters lacked depth and I found myself rolling my eyes at corny words & phrases. I honestly only finished it because I paid for it.

Great read. Couldn’t put it down. Characters well fleshed out. Storyline was captivating.

Riveting story line, enjoyed the unexpected twist and turns of events every step of the way. Great characters!

This is a top 5 book for sure!

After struggling through a series with multiple editing errors and similar plots, I started this book. At first I’m thinking it’s another sleazy romance novel - not so. The characters are well-developed and as the story unfolds, each seems to offer a prediction into what is to come. Yes, maybe a little predictable, but an enjoyable read.

Excellent

This book started off my summer reading and it did not disappoint. An easy read, from multiple POVs, with many characters bringing their own stories to the main plot. Looking up more books from this author right now!

Exactly the read I was hoping it to be! Another standout by Mary Kay Andrews!!

A different direction than the normal MKA books I have read and was totally drawn into the story from the first pages. Traci a widow from the wrong side of the tracks now runs the family owned luxury resort known as the Saint. Slowly getting on with her life after the sudden death of her beloved husband and recouping from the COVID shutdown has its own set of challenges. Trying to open up for another season has caused Traci scrambling in different directions, staffing shortages, finding a new Chef and the list goes on. Coming up with the idea of offering a sign up bonus plus free on site housing has gotten her the results she hoped for. Things seem to be going well, but when her niece who works there goes missing and guests are complaining about everything……something is wrong, but what? A well developed story that has suspense, old mystery and new mystery to be solved. Family secrets, who dunnit and why? I listened to part of the story as a audiobook, but preferred reading. Only because I could keep all the characters straight. It definitely was a book I enjoyed reading and just couldn’t put down. Thank you NetGalley for this eARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #SummersAtTheSaint #MaryKayAndrews

Mary Kay Andrews, “Queen of the Beach Reads”, does what she always does best by writing a fun and entertaining read, while incorporating a mystery! I love how Mary Kay Andrews added in the element of connecting the past to the present! From the characters to the story, this book will have you turning the pages as the story unfolds and secrets are unveiled. It will make you gasp, not expecting it! A perfect book to take on vacation!
