This book is a must for fans of mystery. I loved how the story caught my attention right away and had me invested in each character. The elements of the mystery are very well written and I loved learning about the mystery of the historical resort. I felt like I became a sleuth as I tried to solve the mystery of something that happened in 1931. Can you imagine sifting through papers and artifacts for this time period? I wanted to be in the room helping so I could be the one to solve what others have tried years to do.

The author does an amazing with the cast of characters. Each one was well defined and vital to the story in some way. Chloe was such an inquisitive person and knows just the right questions to ask to further her search for the truth. Just as she started getting close to the truth, someone would get injured or disturb the papers she had collected. Going to the resort with her husband to celebrate their second anniversary doesn’t seem to be quite what they expected.

What really grabbed my attention is how Chloe wanted to make sure that the truth was told to perhaps bring good from something that was tragic. I loved her attention to following every lead and never giving up. There are other characters in the book that are also helping her but I don’t want to give too much away. It was so hard not to read ahead to see if Chloe had solved the mystery. I had a list of suspects and reasons they may be guilty. The author does include faith in the book and really focuses on how Chloe needs to wait on God and let His plans guide her.

The ending is extremely well written as pieces start to come together. I was shocked at who was behind everything and how Chloe was able to finally solve the mystery that so many people had tried to do for years. It has been a pleasure to read this book as the author masterfully put a mystery together with subtle hints and a paper trail that shares a young woman’s hope to help others.
