In the beautiful small town of Purity, Maine, there's a stark divide between the year-round residents and the "summer guests," the wealthy tourists who only come in the summer months to visit their palatial "cottages." When one of those summer guests, a 15-year-old girl disappears, acting sheriff Jo Thibodeau must put all of her few resources into tracking down the girl, including searching the lake. What Jo doesn't expect to find, however, is the skeleton of another woman, one who disappeared decades earlier. Faced with two mysteries, Jo must turn to ex-spy Maggie and her small band of former spook pals to help investigate.
While the setting, the plot, and the characters were all complex and enjoyable, this is the second book of the series (following The Spy Coast), and since I hadn't read the first one, I definitely felt I was missing some background as I was reading. However, it was a lot of fun, and I fully intend to read book 1 when I get a chance.
