Publisher's summary

After receiving a crumbling Mediterranean mansion, Liz Galin uncovers clues that will solve a century-old murder … and reveal a forbidden love story that mirrors a modern one.

Everyone fantasizes about receiving a gift from a stranger.

Liz Galin, an out-of-work fashion stylist, lives in a walk up studio apartment in Alphabet City in Manhattan. She has put her life on hold during COVID-19 to care for her mother going through chemo, and cannot see her boyfriend Cary as he is an emergency room doctor during the height of the pandemic. One Monday morning, she receives a cryptic letter from a Miami lawyer indicating that she should call his office. When she does, she and her mother Linda find out she has been bequeathed an asset in a will. She is shocked to find she’s been left a storied, crumbling Mediterranean mansion on Miami’s famed North Bay Road by a reclusive socialite who has recently passed. She has no idea who Elsa SloanBarrett was or why she left her multimillion-dollar home to her.

Liz’s journey uncovers clues that will solve a century-old murder mystery and a forbidden love story that will ultimately change her life. It will also uncover a new love triangle with a famous, reclusive celebrity neighbor that will test her own relationship and values and in many ways, mirroring the love story she uncovers.

In the end, the mansion won’t be the only gift she receives. …

Captivating, Touching with a hint of Mystery

I honestly had no expectations when I selected this book. It sounded intriguing and I was rushing to select a title before a few days of travel. I actually stopped about 1/4 way but then months later decided to continue and I'm so glad I did.

The characters seem realistic with flaws and all and it tells stories of love and healing but also with a bit of drama and murder. I also appreciate the reference to the Covid-19 Pandemic as so many books and shows never include it as if it didn't impact every aspect of our lives.

This isn't the type of book I generally gravitate to so it was a nice surprise. No matter your preferred genre, the writing is done well enough to keep you interested and invested in the outcomes of the characters.

A wonderful and captivating story…

North Bay Road is a truly magical novel, at the core of which is an amazingly captivating story. That story is interwoven with Miami’s history, much of which is dark and little of which known in the city’s ever-grander modern times. Through it all is a breathtaking panache and style, which add yet another compelling layer to this wonderful book.
