My ranking: 3 of 5 stars
The Harbor Home is e-book one of many Thistle Island collection of up to date small city mysteries.
Just lately redundant journal options author Robyn solutions a job advert for a woman’s companion on a small island off of the North Carolina shoreline. As she settles into island life, Robyn discovers a washed up bottle with a message inside. Fellow islanders clarify that there have been different bottles with messages they usually can all been seen on show within the city. within the story behind the bottle, Robyn agrees to assist analysis the messages, and her journalist background kicks in with concepts to unravel the thriller.
It is a gentle novella type story, with little time to actually get to know Robyn. There are some fascinating secondary characters, however I felt the story was a little bit rushed in locations. I might have been pleased with a bit extra depth to the characters and storyline and an extended story to get pleasure from them in.
