Private Investigator Regan Reilly and her husband Jack are about to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary at his parents’ beautiful beachfront home on Cape Cod. To be up there for a weekend in April, just the two of them, sounded like a perfect escape. However, the best laid plans. . .
In the bedroom, Regan finds Skip, the Reilly’s young caretaker, supposedly checking for leaks. A moment later, Jack arrives home from the market, two gossipy older women who live up the street in tow. A branch crashed through their living room window, and they need a place to stay. When Regan thought things couldn’t get any worse, Skip comes running into the house, distraught that he’d just discovered Adele Hopkins, the woman renting the house next door, in a heap at the bottom of her staircase to the beach. Regan and Jack run back down with him, but huge waves are crashing on the shore. Hopkins is gone, presumably swept out to sea.
Who was Adele Hopkins? No one knows. The 60ish loner, who moved in five months ago, shunned her neighbors. Even her landlords have no idea how to locate her next of kin. Discovered in her dining room are stacks of apology cards she’s not yet sent and bags of decorative pillows that are embroidered with the saying GRUDGE ME, GRUDGE ME NOT. The two women who own the shop where Adele bought the pillows, Pippy and Ellen, opened Pillow Talk after they both lost their jobs. Eventually the Pillow Talk website became a place for people to vent their feelings about their employers. They soon receive an anonymous email from someone who spews venom about her former rowing coach–Adele Hopkins. Could she be the same Adele Hopkins?
Regan and Jack’s search for clues to this mysterious woman’s identity makes for an anniversary weekend they’ll never forget!
