A review by emileereadsbooks
Summers at the Saint by Mary Kay Andrews

4.25

This is an example of why I love going into a book mostly blind. I'm sure I read the synopsis of this book months ago when I put it in my TBR, but by the time I picked it up to read, I didn't have any clue what was in store for me. And what a treat of an atmospheric Southern beachy mystery this turned out to be. 

Was this a perfect book? No. Was it an engrossing and entertaining read? Yes. 

In the beginning I was like why are there so many characters?! But as I continued on and the plot thickened, I became more and more invested in who and what and how and why. I was constantly changing my mind about the motives and the guilty parties and that is always the sign of a fun read. 

I will say there were a couple elements of the reveals that didn't hit for me, but overall this was great.

Thanks to St. Martin's Press and Macmillan Audio for the audiobook to review. All opinions are my own.
