About this listen
Bradley Ellington Taylor, affectionately known as Duke among family and close friends, fiercely resisted the encroachment of middle age. In remarkable health, he maintained his fitness through activities like cycling on his ten-speed racer and participating in pro/am basketball with a group of attorney comrades who humorously called themselves The Sharks.
His professional life as a lobbyist had surpassed even his loftiest aspirations. His law firm, Bradley Taylor and Associates, commanded immense respect in the Washington, D.C. political sphere and among a substantial roster of clients. Bradley had also admirably raised his four children single-handedly following the loss of his wife. Now, they were all well-established in their prosperous careers. However, none of them had tied the knot, leaving Bradley yearning for the prospect of grandchildren. Despite possessing everything a man could desire at this stage of life, he longed for a companion with whom to share the years ahead. Hellena Keys, on the other hand, had been hardened by life's relentless trials.
Becoming a mother at the tender age of fifteen, she faced the devastating loss of her daughter's father, her true love, in a foreign war. With the support of her father and the father of her beloved, she embarked on a journey to establish her own florist business, Keys to the Garden. Tragically, both her father and his passed away before she reached the age of twenty-one. Nonetheless, despite enduring immense hardships, Hellena managed to persevere, and her daughter eventually blossomed into a lawyer at the prestigious law firm of Bradley Taylor and Associates. It appeared as though everything in Hellena's life was on an upswing until a horrifying incident left her daughter critically injured in the hospital.
Amidst the uncertainty of the hospital waiting room, Bradley arrives to await the doctors' prognosis about his employee. Unexpectedly, he experiences an immediate and profound connection with Hellena Keys, the charming mother of his talented employee.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

An Awesome Listen
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it very enjoyable. Nothing brings people together as quickly as tragedy. When Bradley's number one employee is attack, he offers his support to her mother, her only family. Through the weeks ahead waiting for Amanda to recover and answers from the police, a friendship grows into much more. As in all the books from this series, strength is drawn from family and friends and you just want to keep listening to the suspenseful, fast moving story. Looking forward to next book in the series.
