I know that Macomber is one of the most popular authors in the United States if not the world. Her website says she has sold over 200 million copies of her books. I know that my local library buys at least ten copies of every title she publishes. However, until this summer, I had never read one of her novels. I always figured that I had read enough reviews to have the gist of her stories.

When we were at the beach, my daughter picked up this book and finished it in a day. She said that it was good which was enough endorsement for me.

I did have a good time reading about Macomber's little town and the people in it. I can see why so many people read these tales. It was a great beach book.
