Best-selling novelist, soap maker, and Martha's Vineyard transplant Annie Sutton is back for third outing in the latest Vineyard novel (after A Vineyard Summer, 2019). This time, Annie's plans for the Vineyard Inn are in jeopardy when she discovers a human skull just down the beach, halting construction. Are the remains those of a man who went missing at sea two decades ago? Or perhaps one of the Wapanoag, the original residents of Martha's Vineyard? Every option presents potential obstacles for the future of this venture that Annie and her newly discovered brother, Kevin, have sunk all their resources into. Fans of the series will enjoy catching up with the lovingly rendered cast of characters populating Stone's Martha's Vineyard, and newcomers will find it easy to get to know everyone, with previous plot points woven skillfully into the narrative. Particularly of interest may be the developing relationships between Annie and her birth mother and Annie and her boyfriend's headstrong daughter, Lucy. A perfect escape for the reader looking to ease the strain of daily life.
