Synopsis
“Great for fans Julia Kelly’s The Light Over London, Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife.” Book Life Reviews "Rife with charming characters, a gorgeous mountain setting, and meticulous research..." —IndieReader "Personal drama and historical tidbits combine nicely for a quick and entertaining read." —Kirkus "With themes of love, family, friendship, new beginnings, and the complexity of life, readers will get hooked from the very beginning." —San Fransisco Book Review "[ The Girls in Cabin Number Three ]'s complex, interesting characters, and engrossing historical and geographical settings make it a must-read." —Readers' Favorite “Braun’s a top-notch storyteller; The Girls in Cabin Number Three is well plotted with clearly defined and relatable characters. Her research is exemplary.” —Kate Osborn, formerly with the Mountain News, Lake Arrowhead “Annie meets Carrie Davis, a new guest who slowly begins to unravel secrets from her own family’s past in the second part of The Guest Book The Girls in Cabin Number Three … with plenty of intrigue in an idyllic mountain locale.” —Susan Denley, former Associate Features Editor, Los Angeles Times. In book two of the Guest Book Trilogy, eighty-one-year-old Annie Parker recounts taking on, against the wishes of her new love Noah, an out-of-town design project that leads her down a path that is more than she bargained for. Back in Lake Arrowhead, California, a long-awaited mystery is buried in Cabin Number Three. Annie meets Carrie Davis who wants to update her childhood home on the lake and feels a tie to Annie’s cabins. Apparently, Carrie’s parents stayed here during the Roaring ‘20s when Bugsy Siegel ran an underground speakeasy and distillery. Unconvinced, Annie decides to investigate and finds their names in the old guest books—Elizabeth Davis and Thomas Meyer. As exciting as that sounds, it’s only the start of a winding tale that Carrie and the new man in her life uncover. The pair unravel a family history filled with gangsters, working girls, and a surprising twist to a family tree. The Girls in Cabin Number Three combines women’s fiction with romance, cozy noir mystery, and suspense—all wrapped up in the majestic environs of this lovely lakeside haven.
My Review
This book was fantastic. Right from the start, I just knew I was going to love it. It was so close to getting that 5th star as it was extremely difficult to put down. It just had to be reading one sitting. I love how the stories were all interwoven. The characters were easy to like, and I connected well with them. They had great depth and were realistic. Even though thos book is the second in the series, it works great as a standalone as the connections between the stories are weak and they are not dependent on reading in order. I loved the pace of the story. There was never a dull moment. I just live books like these that keep your mind ticking over. I definitely recommend reading this book and series. This book is really well written, keeping the reader involved in the story.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishing team for creating yet another brilliant and interesting story. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
