About this ebook

Welcome to Auburn, where fresh baked cookies hold the key to your future, and a melody carries the secrets of your past.

Mina Fairchild keeps to herself, and that's the way she likes it. Her secluded life protects the secrets she hides, as well as a certain peculiarity that even people in the colorful town of Auburn, Nebraska find strange. 

But when her movie-star sister Bernadette shows up, Mina's cozy bungalow is overrun with paparazzi. One dark eyed reporter seems to see straight into Mina's soul and her world begins to crumble. It's bad enough when he noses around her secrets, but then he starts digging for information about her mother, and Mina can't let that happen.

Bernadette fled her Hollywood life after her boyfriend's affair caused her to do things that sent the tabloids flying off the racks. Now she's facing the sister she hasn't spoken to in eight years, and an ex-fiancé, to whom she owes more than an explanation. While she's not sure she can tell them the truth, she's determined to make things right, even if that means America's Sweetheart waits tables in a small-town diner.

The trouble is, this prodigal return has unraveled more than the sisters realize. When a body is discovered, and a strange woman comes to Bernadette pleading for help, Auburn encounters a decades old mystery that causes Mina to question the very people she's been protecting, and threatens the few people she's close to.

    3/5
    Bernie is on the run from her Hollywood lifestyle. The best place to run to? Home of course. Except that home is a place rife with secrets and complications. Mina, Bernie's sister is an introvert who writes a fake travel blog, Bernie's old flame runs a diner that's a hair's breath away from closing down, and then there are all the accidents. When a crack opens up in the sidewalk revealing a body of an unknown woman, Bernie and Mina have to decide if they are finally going to open up to each other or continue to hide.
    The characters are a little better drawn out than in the first book, but the "Obituary Society" only jumps into action in the second half of the book. I felt there was just too much going on- the supernatural element, the romance (two in fact) and I couldn't really believe that Bernie was going to content with life in a small town after living the high life as America's sweetheart. Calvin, Mina's "stalker" came across a touch creepy- and they really didn't interact enough apart from getting trapped in a barn during a tornado. Every conversation was rushed and his so called charm didn't really work for me. Everything got wrapped up just a little too easily at the end. This really needed to be a longer book.
