Listen up! Get ready for an intriguing installment in the Regan Reilly mystery series by the talented Carol Higgins Clark. In this thirteenth book, Regan finds herself on a vacation in the picturesque Cape Cod, attempting to unravel the mystery of an enigmatic woman's identity. Brace yourself for an exhilarating ride, because The Daily Beast proclaims this story to be nothing short of thrilling!
Our fearless protagonist, Private Investigator Regan Reilly, and her husband Jack (no, they're not related!), head honcho of the NYPD Major Case Squad, are all set to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. A romantic, peaceful weekend away from the hustle and bustle of New York City is what they crave. But, of course, life has other plans in store for them.
Initially considering a trip to Bermuda, Regan and Jack decide to spend four blissful days at his parents' stunning beachfront property in Cape Cod. This charming haven, where they've never been alone before, promises to be the perfect escape. They envision a blissful, uninterrupted time together. Oh, how naive they are!
Fate has a mischievous sense of humor, for when Regan opens the bedroom curtains, she's greeted by the sight of Skip, the Reillys' young caretaker, inspecting the glass for leaks with his nose practically pressed against it. As if that isn't enough, Jack returns home with two gossip-loving elderly women from the neighborhood, seeking refuge after a branch crashes through their living room window.
But wait, there's more! In a frenzied state, Skip bursts into the house, revealing the shocking discovery of a woman named Adele Hopkins lying lifeless at the base of her beach staircase. Regan, Jack, and Skip rush back to the scene, only to be faced with treacherous waves crashing upon the shore. Sadly, Hopkins is nowhere to be found, presumably swept away by the unforgiving sea.
Now, our intrepid duo embarks on an investigation to aid their friends in finding Hopkins's family. Their journey begins by interrogating the two young women who own a shop where Adele had recently purchased pillows. Meet Pippy and Ellen, who, after losing their jobs, decided to open Pillow Talk. Little did they know that a newspaper article detailing their mistreatment at the hands of former employers would go viral, propelling their business to fame. The Pillow Talk website has become a safe haven for others to share their own stories of injustice.
Recently, the dynamic duo received a venom-filled anonymous email targeting a former rowing coach, none other than Adele Hopkins. Could this be the same Adele Hopkins? Regan and Jack's quest for answers takes them on an anniversary weekend that they'll remember for a lifetime.
