Description
When Anna St. James graduated college with a business degree, she never expected to find herself running a boarding house on a small island off the east coast. But life throws a lot of curves and Anna has certainly had her share of them. Now, settled into life as owner and landlady of the Moon River Boarding House on Frostfall Island, Anna couldn’t imagine living anywhere else or without the unique and somewhat eccentric tenants she considers family.
Anna would be perfectly content baking and keeping house but Frostfall Island, lovely, remote and somewhat wild, always manages to throw a curve of its own. Most of the time, Frostfall is a charming island with a busy fishing boat harbor and town that attracts summer tourists. But occasionally, quite occasionally, if that’s a phrase, there’s an unexpected murder. Without a dedicated police force, the locals look to Anna to solve crimes. She’s not entirely sure how she landed the role of amateur sleuth but she takes her side job seriously.
When a man dies in a pirate battle reenactment, Anna steps into gear. Only this time, she has a parallel mystery to solve. Her newest tenant, Nathaniel Smith, is quite the puzzle, a puzzle who came with a piercing blue gaze and a trove of secrets.

5By anna1828rI received an early copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. This was a very solid beginning of a series. I felt instantly connected to the main character and wish I could really visit Frostfall Island. The author is great at bringing her characters and settings to life. I enjoyed the yummy baking, the old Hollywood references, and the quirky characters. Nathaniel is very intriguing, wink! Lovett also does the mystery within a mystery really well, so I can’t wait to read the next in the series.Enchanted by Frostfall Island
