The House at Saltwater Point

3.5 stars, rounded up

Though I didn't like it quite as well as the next in the series, it was definitely better than the first in the series. This one's about Grayson finding out he's got two biological sisters out there and trying to help Shawna track down their baby sister. He's got a crime to solve and he's very interested in the pretty woman mixed up in the crime, so he has to ensure she is innocent and safe.

I liked both characters even though I didn't completely fall in love with them. A solid mystery with a pleasant Washington-state setting.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required.

This book kept me interested from page 1. The story has a good balance of mystery and romance. There were a few questionable statements in the dialog between several characters, but it was overall an interesting book. I enjoyed reading it.

I would have given this a 5 however I could not understand why 1 minute the main character was grieving because her sister was missing and the next day the main character was at an auction bidding on a house to restore. That really threw me. The author should have moved up the bidding for the house before the mystery start about her sister. The book has a few other characters who are involved in the mystery and some surprises also. I will probably try another of Colleen Coble's books in the future! - DN
