Between the Sound and Sea by Amanda Cox
Josephina runs her own event planning business in a small
town that has snubbed her because of an issue with her father’s construction
company which has sullied her family’s reputation. She has been dumped by her boyfriend and
needs a change, so she takes a job as a project manager for an elderly
gentleman who has bought an island to refurbish the lighthouse.
The setting immerses the reader in the outer banks of North
Carolina. Small towns and marshes and
the sea provide the backdrop for the mystery that sweeps up Joey, Finn, the
grandson, and Walt, the grandfather.
The characters are interesting and revealed slowly by the
author. I especially enjoyed Joey. Although all of them have their flaws, they grow
and learn and give each other second chances.
There is a bit of romance laced throughout the story, both in
the past and the present, but not too much for a reader like me who prefers
just a little of it.
This was a captivating story and I am grateful to the publisher for the opportunity to read it in exchange for this, my honest review.
