 It was the perfect place to disappear...

One sultry summer, Maureen Haddaway arrives in the wealthy town of Opal Beach to start her life anew—to achieve her destiny. There, she finds herself lured by the promise of friendship, love, starry skies, and wild parties. But Maureen’s new life just might be too good to be true, and before the summer is up, she vanishes.

Decades later, when Allison Simpson is offered the opportunity to house-sit in Opal Beach during the off-season, it seems like the perfect chance to begin fresh after a messy divorce. But when she becomes drawn into the mysterious disappearance of a girl thirty years before, Allison realizes the gorgeous homes of Opal Beach hide dark secrets. And the truth of that long-ago summer is not even the most shocking part of all.

Maureen is a carnie who makes new friends at the Opal Beach and just when things are looking up things quickly go downhill and she ends up missing. About 10 years later Allison Simpson is offered to house sit while she picks up the pieces of her life after divorce and no longer having a job during the quiet off season on Opal Beach. As she spends her time there she learns about the disappearance of Maureen and is left trinkets and such leading her to think that she wasn't just a runaway as everyone was led to believe. The further she looks into it the more dark secrets surface.
First off this was just what I needed for this month a good mystery with no romance, just the mystery and suspense of wondering what is going on. I loved seeing with every clue the closer Allusion was getting to figure out what really happen. Then there was the back and fourth through time seeing how things started for Maureen and what eventually led to her end. It was such an interesting difference between characters. The way the book ended as well was surprising and you know what there was so much going on and I recommend you lovely readers to check this book out. Such a great read, highly recommend!
