Rosa Larkin is down on her luck in London, so when she inherits a near-derelict corner shop in a quaint Devon village, her first thought is to sell it for cash and sort out her life. But nothing is straightforward about this legacy. While the identity of her benefactor remains a mystery, he - or she - has left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it.
Rosa makes up her mind to give it a go: to put everything she has into getting the shop up and running again in the small seaside community of Cockleberry Bay. But can she do it all on her own? And if not, who will help her succeed - and who among the following will work secretly to see her fail?
There is a handsome rugby player, a sexy plumber, a charlatan reporter and a selection of meddling locals. Add in a hit-and-run incident and the disappearance of a valuable engraved necklace, and what you get is a journey of self-discovery and unpredictable events. With surprising and heartfelt results, Rosa, accompanied at all times by her sausage dog Hot, will slowly unravel the shadowy secrets of the inheritance and also bring her own long-hidden heritage into the light.

All of the elements of a good story are here: gorgeous, seaside location, an orphaned main character who's single, and a mystery inheritance. Unfortunately, the unlikeable charters, lack of character change in the arc of the story, some clumsy plotting with too many elements topped off by the voice of this narrator make this sadly, a disagreeable book. Not sure if I'll try another by this writer. A development editor might be transformational here.
As far as the narrator is concerned, I don't know if Rosa's voice is Penny Andrews' natural speaking voice or not. I'm guessing not, as she does a good job with some of the characters. Rosa sounds like a silly Valley Girl--not a thinker and of questionable intelligence.
At least there's a cute dog!
