It was ok for me
⭐️Overall rating: 3/5:⭐️⭐️⭐️

Talia, a mother, Midge the town cop, and Kelly has been divorced twice and has bought Haven Cliff. The mansion that Caroline's Great-Great-Grandfather built. That is surrounded by curses and sat empty for years. Kelly has restored it to its former glory, all for Caroline. On the day of the anniversary, a man is discovered dead. He has links to the girls, specifically to Caroline. Was it an accident or is there more to his fall?
This was a good book but it just dragged along for me. I almost dnf but I know a lot of people liked this book so maybe it will be for you but this book did not hold my attention and took forever for me to get through.
