This series is turning out to be fun, quick reads that keep you guessing until the end. Tali is still working on renovating her coffee shop and bookstore and has started a book club with some of the other quirky characters we have grown to love in Lantern Beach. Strange events start to occur after Tali is visited by an author asking her to read his new manuscript. About that time, a dead body washes up on the beach and has been killed just like the character in the manuscript Tali has been given. Could this author be behind these events or is someone trying to set him up? It seems like someone is targeting Tali and the other members of the book club, but why? Even though there is the continuing story of how Mac and Tali's pasts connect, they team up again to try to figure out who is after them. This one kept me guessing and I cannot wait until book 3, Bound by Mystery.
