A seaside-set paranormal mystery-from the authors of the Renaissance Faire mystery Ghastly Glass
Meet Dae O'Donnell, a woman with a gift for finding lost things-and the stories behind lost lives...
Dae O'Donnell is the mayor of Duck, North Carolina-and the person everyone turns to when they've lost something. One touch and Dae can find it, and missing pieces seem to find their way to her, whether she wants them to or not.
When Miss Mildred asks Dae to find her missing watch, Dae finds herself looking for more than mislaid jewelry-she must prove the town matriarch isn't a cold-blooded killer.
I really enjoyed this book. The setting in the outer banks drew me in and I liked the small town atmosphere that helped bring the characters to life. I found the main character to be just slightly two-dimensional but that could be either because it's the first book in the series and as such, the characters are still being fleshed out by the authors, or because this book is a team effort and they haven't yet found their groove. Either way, it did not detract from the story, but kept me from really caring about the characters and their futures/welfares. I found this to be a fun, engrossing read with a great plot that kept me guessing and I'm looking forward to future books in the series.
