Could it possibly be…Grace’s husband? This seems unlikely, but Sophie can’t stop hoping… Meanwhile, Sophie tries to work out who Connie thought might be her perfect match on the island, which leads to much entertainment for her safely married friends. But that’s ok, because Grace slowly develops a frightening plan… We meet beautiful, happily married Grace, who has just been blessed with a healthy baby son – that she can’t bond with at all. The mystery itself is easily guessed, though the details surrounding it aren’t, but it provides an interesting backdrop to the other, serious stories Moriarty wants to tell. Liane Moriarty’s books always feature a central mystery, but although it brings the story together, it’s really peripheral to the individual stories of her characters, all of whom are struggling in some way. Ultimately a very satisfying read, with all the main characters having changed over the course of the story. Can she find it on the island? Or has she read too many romances to settle for a man? What’s it like? Sophie has always been fascinated by the Munro Baby Mystery, but she’s also on the hunt for love. Surprisingly, Connie has left her home to a relative stranger, Sophie Honeywell.
Each year, the anniversary of this surprising event is celebrated as a fascinating mystery, bringing boatloads of tourists to Scribbly Gum, but this year will be different: chief strategist Connie has died and Rose has to make her own decisions. Once upon a time, two sisters found an abandoned baby near their home on Scribbly Gum Island and decided to raise it as their own. The ‘Munro Baby Mystery’ has been a wonderful money spinner for the Doughty sisters for over 70 years, but when family matriarch Connie Doughty dies, her younger sister Rose begins to wonder whether it’s time to tell the truth… What’s it about?
