Andrews' novels, such as Save the Date(2014) and Beach Town (2015), are the epitome of relaxing yet involving summer reads, and her latest is no exception. Riley Griggs' family founded the charming North Carolina coastal town of Belle Isle, and now her husband, Wendell, wants to build a large-scale luxury development, a plan she objects to. The fact is, they don't agree on much anymore, and at the start of this summer season they plan to tell their 12-year-old daughter, Maggie, that they're getting a divorce. But first Wendell doesn't show up for the ferry, and then he turns up dead. Riley discovers that Wendell drained all her family's bank accounts for some shady loans, and that's not all he cooked up with the attractive loan officer. As she tries to rebuild her life on Belle Isle, Riley also rekindles a flirtation with her long-ago flame, Nate, who's back for a fresh start. Andrews blends romance, intrigue, and soap-opera-like twists in this entertaining novel about a gossipy beach town. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: A 300,000-copy first print run and a major marketing campaign, including a national author tour, reflect avid reader interest.--Walker, Aleksandra Copyright 2016 Booklist
