Bittersweet by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore


  Bittersweet by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore. Broadway Books, 2015. Penguin Random House, 2014.  Adult Fiction.

Looking for a summer mystery? Follow everywoman Mabel Dagmar to college where she meets her roommate, Genevra Winslow. The two really seem like water and vinegar, but  Ev invites May to her wealthy family’s summer retreat, Winloch. May leaps at the chance to be away from her working class family and to experience adventure. Every cabin has a quaint name and the family welcomes May warmly. But, why do the houses have such good locks? And , is all as calm as they would have May believe? One of the aunts sets May on a quest to discover past secrets. May even thinks she is in love with Ev’s brother, Galway. But, how did the Winslows make all that money? Who is protecting whom? If you liked Gone Girl and Unbecoming, both novels filled with suspense and unreliable narrators, you will love Bittersweet. It’s a good book to put in your tote bag for the pool or beach this summer!

Thanks to Blogging for Books from whom I receive the book in exchange for a review.
