A Search for a Lost Childhood Friend


Halle Lane is back in Winchester, Tennessee where she grew up. She’s trying to remake her career as a reporter after having to leave her job in Nashville. Being home, she is reminded of her friend and next door neighbor, Andy Clark, who disappeared when she was seven. Andy has never been found. One way to get her career back on track is to have an exclusive story. Maybe it’s time to revisit what happened to Andy.

Liam Hart owns a vineyard in California. When he receives a picture of an unknown boy and a newspaper article about his disappearance, he doesn’t know why he received them, but he’s drawn to finding out. He decides to go to Winchester to meet the reporter and find out why he was sent the article. He couldn’t be the lost boy, or could he?

This is quite a good mystery. Halle and Liam pursue clues that lead them closer and closer to the answer about the boy, but the ending is a twist that it’s hard to guess. The story is told from two time periods, the present and the time when Andy disappeared. I enjoyed the early interactions between Andy and Halle more that those in the present. I thought she was much more authentic as a child and Andy was a great friend. I didn’t like him as much in the present. He was heavily into denial and it made him a more difficult character to like.

If you enjoy mysteries with a romantic twist, this is a good one.

I received this book from Harlequin for this review.
