I have enjoyed the authors other books in this series but this is my new fave! You can read this on its own btw, but the other two books are delightful as well. This had all the elements I need in a beach read; wonderful characters, a gorgeous setting, drama and depth. The narrator reminded me of one of my faves, Therese Plummer, so that was amazing and I felt like I was listening to a friend tell me a fascinating story.
