kjelu1022 's review for:
The Barefoot Summer
by Carolyn Brown
I thought this book was just okay. It took me a longer time than usual to get through it as it did not captivate me enough to devour in one sitting. The premise seemed interesting....3 women find out that they are "married" to the same man after he is murdered in a florist shop while buying flowers for a fourth woman. Kate, Jamie, and Amanda all meet at Conrad's funeral and are considered suspects in the murder. This meeting sparks each one to flee to Conrad's cabin to determine who will inherit the cabin. While living in the cabin, a bond is formed between the 3 women who all have been betrayed by Conrad but still welcomed into this small town of Bootleg.
This book did not "wow" me. The theme of the book was a bit far fetched...that 3 women who have been betrayed by a con man would become really good friends. There is a romance thrown into the mix when Kate and Waylon (the detective in Conrad's murder case) are attracted to each other. There was no real mystery in the book. When the murderer is discovered, it appeared to be no big deal.
I would be willing to read more books in the future if the writing improves and the romance mystery part was more developed.
