I always know when summer is almost here: there’s a new novel by Mary Kay Andrews on the horizon. My guilty pleasure almost every year. I know I will be entertained, I know I will keep turning pages, I know I will enjoy.
The setting is an exclusive hotel on the coast of southern Georgia. St Cecelia, affectionately known as The Saint. At the beginning of the story, I was slightly worried because there are a lot of characters introduced very quickly. But, happily, they are easy to track as they each get involved with the others very quickly. The plot becomes quite convoluted but MKA’s simple writing style makes it easy to follow.
A lot happens in this book. We experience a tangled web of extortion, blackmail, arson, theft, murder and scandal. What more could a reader want? Oh yes, there is also a bit of romance. We meet characters we like, we dislike and some that we are uncertain of.
As always, with MKA, The Saint is a perfect beach or airplane book. Easy to read and interesting. I couldn’t wait to see how it would turn out but I didn’t want it to end. Dilemma!!!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
