Alex Brown has treated us to another visit to Tindledale
with The Secret of Orchard Cottage. I love when authors revisit places and
characters of their books and going back to this sleepy village with so many colourful
and wholesome people does not disappoint.
This story sees April Wilson returning to Orchard Cottage
where she spent her childhood summer holidays and is still home to her aging
Great Aunt Edie. Feeling guilty as she has not visited for some time, she
discovers the decline of Edie’s health and home and sets about fixing the
grounds of the cottage. Edie’s memory slips from present to past causing much
confusion and heartache, April is
determined to give her peace of mind and clarity before it’s too late by
helping to solve the mystery of what happened to Edie’s sister Winnie Lovell.
April is also grieving for her beloved husband Gray but
finds that spending time in Tindledale is a pleasant distraction. Her emotions
are all over the place as two guys, Harvey and Matt, stir long lost feelings
and cause her to think positively about her future.
As to who wins April’s heart you will just have to read and
find out for yourself! I liked that this heart-warming book has both romance
and mystery and hope that we will return to Tindledale again soon.
