The Newcomer (Mary Kay Andrews)

 This is a fun, yet somewhat predictable read - the story of Lettie, her niece, Maya, and their adventures in solving the murder of Lettie's sister, Tanya. I enjoyed the Florida beach setting, and the light romance that is woven throughout the tale. This story is well written, but should probably been edited down by about 25%. I found myself skimming here and there without missing any of the important details. 


I recommend The Newcomer to women, and especially those on a vacation. The chapters are short and manageable, and there is a limited number of characters, so one can pick up the book and put it down without having to reread at all.


Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review The Newcomer.
