**My thoughts**
There's another murder in the small town of Dolphin Bay, only Anna cannot possibly be to blame for this one. And of course, people immediately seek her out to find out the truth.

The cafe and bookstore are doing well. Cassie is slowly warming up to Meg. I almost want to smack her at times for being so cold to her own daughter. There is just clearly so much in her past that we do not know.

And Teddy is a moron.

I think I would get a kick out of visiting Dolphin Bay, particularly hanging out with Anna's friends, who call themselves the Firecrackers. And I got hungry while reading this because they were constantly eating! Some great food ideas, though.

In this one, the story is much more intricate and other characters are much more involved. Plus there is a great twist. This series just keeps improving and I hope more follow!
