Summerhouse Reunion - The Complete Story
By Kathi Daley
Five weeks, four friends, three stories, two romances, and one cold case mystery, combine to bring you a heartwarming reunion story by USA Today Bestselling author Kathi Daley. Kelly Green and her sister Kayla grew up summering on a small island off the coast of Northern California. After Kayla’s death, Kelly returns to the island where she joins three friends from her past, to commemorate both, Kayla’s life, and the life of a sixteen-year-old girl who disappeared from the island twenty-five years earlier. Now in their early forties, each of the four remaining friends struggle to find a way to deal with their loss while also dealing with their own personal crisis.
Meanwhile, the new sheriff on the island, also a childhood friend, seems to have stumbled onto an interesting pattern the previous sheriff overlooked: A sixteen-year-old girl has gone missing from the island every fifth summer since Peggy disappeared. Some were assumed to have run away, while others were reported as missing, but one thing was for certain, none of the girls were ever seen again. As the sheriff, the women, and other friends from the island, work together to piece together the random clues they hope will provide a mirror to the past, disturbing evidence surfaces which suggests that the next girl to disappear will disappear this summer.
While the details surrounding the mystery seem to have gaps that can’t be explained, things begin to come together after Kelly shares Nora’s story with Sam. Determined to find out whether this mystery woman is still alive, or if she was, in fact, victim number four, Sam hunts for answers, only to find, when a girl turns up dead, that perhaps their assumptions were wrong all along. Things go from dicey to downright dangerous once Quinn and Kelly set off on their secret journey to a forbidden place. Will their clue finding mission provide them the information they need to save this girl, or will it simply result in two additional deaths?
