Summary

USA Today Bestselling author Kathi Daley brings you a heartwarming mystery series about finding answers and fostering hope while building friendships and embracing the magic of life by the sea and small town holidays。

Ainsley Holloway had come to Gooseberry Bay to find answers about her past。 She’d come to find an explanation for the dreams that haunted her after the death of the cop who’d both rescued and raised her。 And she’d come to identify the family she couldn’t remember but knew in her heart she’d once belonged to。 Ainsley hoped that by finding these answers, she’d also find healing。 She hoped that once she’d resurrected the memories buried deep in her mind, she’d find peace。

The Cottage at Gooseberry Bay is a series about, not only finding answers, but finding hope。 It’s a series about family and friendship。 It’s a series about shared holidays, festivals, and celebrations。 It’s a series about shared heartbreak and hardship。 And it’s a series about the bond that can be forged amongst strangers when tragedy binds two or more individuals with a common goal。

In book 6 in the series, Ainsley's PI business is really taking off after her recent successes and she's busier than ever tracking down the people her clients are looking for including a father without a name and a social influencer who seems to have disappeared without a trace。 When she isn't juggling multiple cases, she's continuing to look into her own murky past in the hope of finding the sister she never knew she had。

This is part of the ongoing Gooseberry Bay series。 While Ainsley continues to search for answers to how she ended up with the cop who raised her and search for her sister she was separated from as toddlers, she also continues with her PI agency。 Each book in the series has one or two mysteries that she works through with her friends and those mysteries are concluded in the book。 More answers come to Ainsley in her own search, but this part continues and evolves in each book。

A Summer Thing by Kathi Daley is the sixth book in her Gooseberry Bay cozy series and was another intriguing cozy mystery。 Ms。 Daley has developed the characters and the setting over the previous books that I now feel "at home" in Gooseberry Bay as I get involved from page one with each new book。 Although Ainsley continues to research her own past in this one with Adam's help, the focus of this book is the two new mysteries that Ainsley agrees to pursue with the help of her friends。 An intricate A Summer Thing by Kathi Daley is the sixth book in her Gooseberry Bay cozy series and was another intriguing cozy mystery。 Ms。 Daley has developed the characters and the setting over the previous books that I now feel "at home" in Gooseberry Bay as I get involved from page one with each new book。 Although Ainsley continues to research her own past in this one with Adam's help, the focus of this book is the two new mysteries that Ainsley agrees to pursue with the help of her friends。 An intricate story line for both of the mysteries, well developed characters, friendships, and a charming setting makes this book one of those that I can't put down until I've reached the end。 As usual, I'm already looking forward to the next one in the series。 。。。more

Kindle Copy for ReviewAinsley is busy as a PI as she investigates missing people and clues a missing father without a name and a social influence who vanishes。 Throw in her search more of her past and a sister she never knew about。A charming mystery that flows and before you know it is comes to an end。

It seems Ainsley has become the go-to person for finding lost persons。 She started out, and continues to unravel the mystery of her own family and is still looking for her sister。 This continuing mystery remains interesting and keeps us curious。This time there are two other main mysteries Ainsley is called upon to help with。One, a woman seeking answers about her own past, unsure if she wants to act upon what is found。The other, a woman who doesn't go hours, much less days, without posting her wh It seems Ainsley has become the go-to person for finding lost persons。 She started out, and continues to unravel the mystery of her own family and is still looking for her sister。 This continuing mystery remains interesting and keeps us curious。This time there are two other main mysteries Ainsley is called upon to help with。One, a woman seeking answers about her own past, unsure if she wants to act upon what is found。The other, a woman who doesn't go hours, much less days, without posting her whereabouts on social media。 When her sister reports her missing, the authorities can't, or won't do anything immediately。This series is fascinating as we learn about the area as much as the people living there。Past mysteries as well as current ones arise and keep us intrigued。The power of friendship is strong and the residents are welcoming to new arrivals as well as tourists。 The animals always add some brightness and comfort。I look forward to each new addition to this well written mystery and small town series。 。。。more
