Former FBI special agent Cate Wilde is a new bakery and bookstore owner--and retirement is now complete with a doctor boyfriend. Although she struggles with PTSD, the sweet life she’s living is a far cry from the gruesome work she left behind six months ago.

What if the case she solved eight years ago isn’t as closed as she thought? Her hometown needs her, and despite her mental health and her boyfriend’s protests, she has no choice but to return.

Great Novella
This whole series has been good. The authors have taken each of the characters and focused on a couple at a time. It has given us a true look into each of their lives and the place they fit into Widow’s Island. This novella really gave an unexpected twist to this island that certainly doesn’t seem to be remote when it comes to murders!

Really want more!
I really like the series but there is more to know. I felt like the new characters were not very developed and there was more to the story. Many questions left without answers.
