'Meg Tilly never fails to deliver a perfect escape' JILL SHALVIS
Welcome to Solace Island . . .
Gallery owner Zelia Thompson loves living on the idyllic Solace Island. With its beautiful views, warm community and brilliant local bakery, Zelia's sorrow after losing her beloved husband is finally starting to ease. But when her close friend Alexus dies, Zelia is left grief stricken all over again. Worse still, she thinks someone is covering up the truth about her friend's death.
Reclusive crime author Gabe Conaghan has been sent to Solace Island by his father and plans to make his visit as short as possible. What he doesn't expect is to be captivated by Zelia, the woman he first saw ten years earlier looking radiant on her wedding day; the woman he's never been able to get out of his head.
When Zelia asks for his help to work out what really happened to Alexus, Gabe agrees. Yet as they grow closer, it becomes clear that Zelia is in danger. Will they be able to unravel the dark secrets surrounding Alexus's untimely death before the killer strikes again?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tilly's third standalone romantic thriller set on idyllic Solace Island (after Cliff's Edge) fails to deliver on its intriguing premise. When crime-fiction writer Gabe Conaghan arrives on Solace Island, he is expecting merely to fulfill his father's request to inspect an estate. He's hardly prepared to meet stunning gallery owner Zelia Thompson or get wrapped up in her amateur sleuthing. Though the death of Zelia's friend and fellow gallery owner was declared a drug overdose, Zelia is sure the story is a cover-up for a murder. Enlisting Gabe's assistance, Zelia sets to work uncovering a dark conspiracy that endangers everyone on Solace Island. An overly complex plot and exposition-laden dialogue bog down the pace and make the protagonists' passion feel forced rather than fated. Though Tilly's fans may enjoy returning to Hidden Cove, this installment never rises above its heavy-handed narration.
