Summary
In this compelling new time-slip mystery, a little girl goes missing from her family’s castle in the Thousand Islands of New York. Eighty-five years later, a journalist teams up with a woman living on Koster Isle to find out what happened to Poppy, once and for all.

1907. On the eve of her fifth birthday, Poppy Pendleton is tucked safely in her bed, listening to her parents entertain New York’s gilded society in their Thousand Islands castle; the next morning, she is gone, and her father is found dead in his smoking room.

1992. Though Chloe Ridell lives in the shadows of Poppy’s castle, now in ruins, she has little interest in the mystery that still captivates tourists and locals alike. She is focused on preserving the island she inherited from her grandparents and reviving their vintage candy shop. Until the day a girl named Emma shows up on Chloe’s doorstep, with few possessions, save a tattered scrapbook that connects her to the Pendleton family. When a reporter arrives at Chloe’s store, asking questions about her grandfather, Chloe decides to help him dig into a past she’d thought best left buried. The haunting truth about Poppy, they soon discover, could save Emma’s life, so Chloe and Logan must work together to investigate exactly what happened long ago on Koster Isle.

Book was an interesting listen until it slanted to a very Christian sell in the book

Held my interest and made the miles go by, my standard for listening on a long drive.

Entertaining story. Well written and well read.

Profile Avatar Stephanie S. Sep 2024

Probably really a 4.5 but really a gem of a free book. Had religious overtones at times but I could overlook that. Interesting, well written and well narrated. Good pacing with mysteries/ reveals, and interesting fleshed out characters. A lot of historical details that seemed well researched but with original characters: and historical fiction is not usually my genre.

Profile Avatar Miss Biggun Jul 2025

I enjoyed this book although I did get a little confused who was who at one point, but that could have been because I was tired at the time, but once I got everybody straight again I was back on track with the story

Profile Avatar Kathrine T. Jan 2025

Very clean and entertaining. You know everything will turn out ok in the end but you don’t know how the story is going to go. The narrator did a great job as well.

The story was a bit twisty at first but settle into a good flow. I thought the ending wasn't of on a tangent but the narration helped it be an enjoyable book

So pleasantly surprised with this book which I really enjoyed

Profile Avatar Sirrah704 Oct 2024

I enjoy interweaving plot/timelines in a story to make you pay attention. This book delivered!! Great story. If you are also someone who can guess how it will all package at the end, you will not be right. There are many plot twists you don’t see coming. Narrator did a wonderful job. The book had a good pace and sound.

Profile Avatar Irene Sep 2024
