About this listen

In this compelling new time-slip mystery, a little girl goes missing from her family’s castle in the Thousand Islands of New York. Eighty-five years later, a journalist teams up with a woman living on Koster Isle to find out what happened to Poppy, once and for all.

1907. On the eve of her fifth birthday, Poppy Pendleton is tucked safely in her bed, listening to her parents entertain New York’s gilded society in their Thousand Islands castle; the next morning, she is gone, and her father is found dead in his smoking room.

1992. Though Chloe Ridell lives in the shadows of Poppy’s castle, now in ruins, she has little interest in the mystery that still captivates tourists and locals alike. She is focused on preserving the island she inherited from her grandparents and reviving their vintage candy shop. Until the day a girl named Emma shows up on Chloe’s doorstep, with few possessions, save a tattered scrapbook that connects her to the Pendleton family. When a reporter arrives at Chloe’s store, asking questions about her grandfather, Chloe decides to help him dig into a past she’d thought best left buried. The haunting truth about Poppy, they soon discover, could save Emma’s life, so Chloe and Logan must work together to investigate exactly what happened long ago on Koster Isle.

This dual time story is very engaging. I’ve long wanted to visit the Thousand Islands. The word pictures Ms Dobson paints increases my desire to visit even more. The mystery of her fictional setting and characters draws you in immediately. The pace of the story is perfect for letting one’s imagination become immersed in the book’s world. A great read to get away from present reality yet learn some new history.

Time slip mysteries are probably my favorite genre and this did not disappoint. There were several twists and turns revealed at just the right time. The narrator was skillful and like a practiced waitress who keeps your coffee cup filled, unobtrusive. I highly recommend this book to you.

Was worth listening to twice. it was very good how it interwove the present and the past and kept you wanting them to solve the mystery of Poppy's disappearance. The only little criticism would be the author talked too much about candies and esp hot chocolate...otherwise it was great listening.

intriguing
