a satisfying ending to trilogy
28 Mar 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the third (and final, by my understanding) book about the Sunshine sisters. Three sisters finding love and answers in unsolved cold cases that they believe caused the murder (that looked like suicide) of their father. There are 4 cases he had open, two of which are solved going into this book. (two remain open, with some leads already being investigated) I would not recommend reading this book alone, I think it is best served as part 3 of the series.
Our final glimpse into the lives of the Sunshine sisters, and this focuses on the eldest sister Jade and her ex-husband Court. The book is in 'real time' written so that the events happening are taking course over a 24 hour period. We also get glimpses at Court and Jade's beginning (their quick courtship and marriage) shown in flashbacks between chapters about the present.
Of the three heroines I definitely liked Jade best, and could see her as the most tortured, real, and relatable. Seeing her realize what she wants for the future, and realizing just how much she loves Court was wonderful. Also watching her realize who her father really was, how troubled and how he did manipulate her was heartbreaking- and a truly good read all at the same time.
I would have preferred to have more present-time depth vs so many pages devoted to the past history of Court and Jade. Also much time was spent (overall in the series) about the Beckets of Romney Marsh and their mysterious emerald. I understand the author wrote a number of novels about the Beckets ancestors, so perhaps some that have read those would be more interested. I was not. I've got a feeling the author may intend for a future book to focus around that, but since it had no resolution in this series so much energy being spent on Becket history irritated me.
Despite my few complaints, the time I spent reading this trilogy was done with a smile on my face, and I indeed enjoyed the books. Three strong, stubborn, and beautiful sisters clear their father's name and can move on with the loves of their lives. It's a feel good story.

too much history
27 Nov 2010

I did not like the past being presented as it was. I would prefer more present time not the jumping back and forth. The story of the series is very good and the other two books did not have all the retro chapters. I do enjoy her story lines.
Girl Power
5 Jun 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Good final book in the series.This humorous and light-hearted romantic suspense series is about the three daughters of Detective Teddy Sunshine and their efforts to clear his name after his death. In the process, they each manage to reunite with ex-lovers and find the lasting love we all dream of. I enjoyed the red herrings and solutions to the other cold cases Teddy left for his daughters. Jade is the most complicated and conflicted of the three Sunshine Girls. At times I became frustrated with her, but could certainly understand her motivations even without agreeing with her actions. And Courtland is a terrific character. Wow that man has the patience of a saint. He just flat out refused to give up and how romantic is that?!
