The fact that there was a beautiful dog in this series drew me in. Absolutely loved this series from start to finish. Maria Boczan. The funeral of her last family member brings Christie to the seaside town of Rivers End, far from her city life and high flying career. Inheriting a rundown cottage is yet another problem to deal with until the discovery of a shoebox of memories draws her into a heartbreaking mystery. Martin is a reclusive artist with no interest in helping the beautiful stranger who comes to him with questions. The past is too painful to revisit and Christie's theories about unopened love letters is too close to the truth. As much as he's drawn to her, she doesn't belong here. Some secrets refuse to stay hidden but solving the puzzle is just the beginning. There's a whole town full of long-hidden mysteries, quirky characters, heartwarming relationships, and a dog called Randall, who holds everyone together
