Thank you to @williammorrowbooks @uplitreads and @authorbeatriz @laurenwillig @karenwhitewrite  for the gifted book.

This story is a captivating read that truly shines due to its unique structure, featuring three distinct author perspectives. The narrative seamlessly alternates between the viewpoints of the three main characters, gradually unveiling their intriguing backstories and the reasons that brought them to the island.

What sets this book apart is its rich blend of elements: mystery, history, a stunning and romantic setting, delightful baking, and a touch of romance, all culminating in a surprising twist at the end. The writing is sharp and engaging, infused with clever humor, particularly during the detective interviews. The charming setting and the delightfully mismatched characters add a unique flavor to the plot, making it a delightful experience overall.
