But run where? The only clue Tara has left behind is a faded magazine story about a sleepy mom-and-pop motel on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

I have to admit that this book's twists were phenomenal, and I hope that there will be a book about Vikki Hill. She was a great secondary character!

Altman had been given a lot of power, the cloak of a nonprofit, and a glowing public profile that exceeds his more mixed private reputation. It’s that doggone Southern Living article,” Ava said. “Forgotten motel, my ass. It’s been five years, and I’m still turning folks away.”

The Cornish coastal village of Pendruggen is farewelling their parish vicar, Simon, as he and his family take up a position if Brazil for twelve months. During that interim time Reverend Angela Whitehorn will come in take care of the parish. But it seems not everyone is happy about the move as Angela receives anonymous poison pen letters. Putting them aside she seeks to build community, especially supporting the female members of the village. Angela’s husband Robert has taken time off from his own work as a political correspondent to support Angela in her frost appointment. So they move to Pendruggen along with their teenage daughter Faith. > But what does life hold for this family and for the people of Pendruggen?

I’m totally sober, just really tired. I’ve been driving all night, and I pulled in here about an hour ago. I was waiting for the motel to open, so I could get us a room. Now, can you please go away, so I can take my little girl to the bathroom?” Everything is going well. There is plenty enough to keep Angela preoccupied. Not only all the things that she wants to set in place herself. But perishioners who need her help, Audrey a busybody who has her nose is absolutely everything, but above all this Angela also starts to get nasty pen letters in the post telling her that she doesn’t belong there and to go home as no one wants her. But as soon as Vikki arrives at the motel, the woman Evan hired to find her, things get more complicated. Letty has to come clean and instead of running away, she has to face with her demons and find the killer of her sister! Interesting that I've just read a non fiction book where the author went to do missionary work abroad-Borneo-and then the vicar in this novel is also going to do missionary work far from home. Penny is thinking of some of the hardships they will encounter, animals, snakes etc.
