The second novel in the Haven Cliff series finds Detective Midge Kennedy looking once again at the Haven Cliff mansion, which is reputed as cursed. In her own youth, her friend Caroline disappeared over 25 years later. This time, it’s a missing sixteen-year-old girl- Sarah Greene, who’s vanishing is almost exactly like her childhood friend Caroline.

Secrets have a way of surfacing themselves when you least expect or when its entirely convenient. Midge must make some hard choices that include outing her own history of mistakes and misdeeds. I strongly recommend that you read The Fourth Girl first, otherwise, much of this book will not make sense. Make sure you add this to your TBR for late spring- you’ll take this tale to the grave.

Thank you, Thomas & Mercer, for allowing me the opportunity to read this ARC on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
