I love the St Felix books. The characters have depth to them and it is like meeting up with old friends.

I loved grumpy Jack and Katé’s patience with him and i even grew to lové Julian! I also enjoyed the interactions with Molly - Although she’s a lot less stroppy than my 15yo!!

The book was slightly different to the normal romance with the addition of a mystery to solve. I liked that the characters felt familiar and I could think back to other books in the series and remember back stories.

I loved the the community feel of the book - it felt like a nice dose of positivity in the current climate!

I've read a lot of really good books lately and each time I think there can't be a better one. But I have to say this is the best book I've read in a long time.

I really loved going back to St Felix and reading bits about previous characters which has been really nice. The story line on this one has been as magical as the other ones by Ali.

I nearly read this book in a day as I loved it that much. She really knows hows to bring the characters and the places to life.

A superb book and I can't wait for another one. Thank you Nettgalley.

Amazing storyline, had me captured from first chapter! Love all of Ali’s books my favourite being Breakfast At Darcys although this is a close second favourite!

What a lovely slice of Cornish escapism to get us through these tough times.
I loved the romance of Kate and Jack and the glimpses of the 1950s through Clara and Arty's story. It is just one of those feel good gentle novels which takes you away from your own life for a bit. Exactly what we need right now.
Thank you so much for letting me read this early.

Brilliant read.

This has been a great escape with gorgeous characters.
There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about this one.

I was initially attracted by the gorgeous cover and the story inside has been just as fantastic

I have loved it.

A magical story set in the Cornish seaside town of St. Felix. Something strange is happening to Kate and Jack. Through a series of paintings they delve into the past of long ago to try to solve a mystery. As the story unfolds, can Kate and Jack put right the wrong that was committed over 60 years ago?

A lovely story which makes for the perfect summer read. Looking forward to the next one from this author.

A sincere thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is not my usual genre, I’m more of a crime/thriller reader however this story intrigued me. I absolutely loved it, truly one of the best books I have read. I am extremely pleased and grateful to both for opening up my mind to something totally different.

Another visit to St Felix. Another wonderful book by Ali McNamara. I loved the previous visits to this little Cornish town but this trip was by far my favourite. Like Jack and Kate I was drawn into the story of Clara, Arty and Maggie in the 1950s and couldn't wait to find out what happened next. So much so that I devoured this book in a few short hours - every time I thought I needed to stop and go and do something else, I just kept promising one more chapter and then before I knew it I had finished! A great, feel good read that proves that wrongs do get righted and that there are some great people out there. More St Felix please and soon

A tight-knit community with lovely characters in a weird, but most definitely romantic love story. One of them I really liked was Anita who always looks out of Kate and her daughter Molly. Whether it is cakes or troubles:

"'Then I for one am glad we're a part of your family,' Molly says, hugging her. 'And so am I,' I say, smiling at Anita over Molly's shoulder."

Thank you for the chance to read this. Brilliant book biased as I love crafts. Bit of mystery big of romance definetely easy reading book

My thanks to Netgalley and Little Brown Book Group Uk for a copy of this book for an honest review.

With all the awfulness of this year ,and the deprivation of my Cornish holiday, I have taken comfort in a returned visit to “ St Felix” and to many of the characters I have met before in Ali McNamara’s books.
I sat in my garden in the sunshine and I imagined I was there.
I must admit I wasn’t totally sold on the way the “flashbacks “ materialised but it didn’t detract from my enjoyment on the whole..
I have loved Ali McNamara since her first book and she is always at the top of my list for recommending.
Can’t wait for the next book , which hopefully I will be able to read on a Cornish beach. God willing!

Wow what a book.

Love discovering new authors.

Kate's lifelong dream is to open her own shop, Kate moves away when an opportunity comes up to do just that. Jack is an ex Army man who opens a rival shop to Kate's. Jack and Kate are brought together with some unusual happenings. They delve into a past life from the 1950's. Can Kate and Jack figure out why they've been selected and can past secrets that have been buried be brought to light?

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant.

This is a cute story. It is similar to Ali McNamara's other works but has a charm of its own. It reminded me a lot of the Seashell Cove series by Karen Clarke, so if you were a fan of those, this book is a must-read!
