Having been adopted, Miri doesn’t know much about her birth family. When her grandmother died Miri is surprised that the elderly lady has left Miri a small house in the will. Miri is determined to use this inheritance as a chance to start fresh and get her life moving in the right direction. Can she settle in to the small, new town?

I enjoyed this short story. I liked how despite a number of recent set-backs – the death of her adopted parents, losing her job and being dumped by her fiancé – Miri still was determined to set her life on a good course and make the most of what she did have. It gave me the good impression of being upbeat and optimistic even when life insists on handing you lemons.

There were a few aspects of the story that struck me as a little too contrived, like when Miri’s grandmother leaves her a note with the combination to her safe and the comment that she’d left “things she didn’t want to give the solicitor” in there, but Miri had zero curiosity about it and even decided to cook herself some dinner, eat it and put off checking it out until the following day. These actions totally made me pause and jarred me out of the story-line, because I had to wonder and reflect whether I was just an impatient, curious sort who could never have dreamed of shelving such an intriguing thing. Possibly this won’t seem to strange to other readers, but it really felt a little unbelievable to me, and this oddness took me slightly out of the story.

I thoroughly liked how the tone of the story overall had the feel to me of a small-town mystery story. Miri discovers all sorts of things, secretly hidden old keys, her grandmother’s safe with sealed envelopes and so on. I felt a little like I was reading an Agatha Christie novel and I loved this. Miri was an interesting character and I enjoyed exploring the various elements to her character. There is a definite element of mystery also surrounding the other residents in the small town. Far from the usual aspect of chatty, nosy neighbors deeply curious and gossipy about anything new, most of the residents are very stand off-ish and jealously guard their privacy.

Luckily, Miri has Gavin, a clerk at the law firm handling Miri’s grandmother’s estate. The attraction between Miri and Gavin is a very slow burn – but I found the growth of their romance really satisfying to read. When Miri is in genuine danger Gavin not only rescues her, but also admits his feeling and I found it lovely to read. There is one steamy scene between Gavin and Miri – kissing and touching but no consummation – and I thought it was well handled and tastefully written.

With plenty of mysteries an intricate plot and some curious and layered characters this is a good read. I easily found myself becoming attached to the storyline and enjoyed trying to guess the twists before they happened. A complex and exciting story with just a hint of romance I feel this is sure to appeal to a wide range of readers.
