Autumn by the Sea - Melissa Tagg

 

A blueberry farm on the coast of Maine has been in the Muir family for generations.  Neil MacKean is not officially a Muir, but under the custody of Maggie Muir since he was a child, he has poured his heart and soul into the farm, and now struggles to let Maggie know the depth of the financial hole the farm has found itself in.  Maggie herself has become physically tied to the farm's property as she has been on a hunt for her adopted daughter's child since Diana's mysterious accident many years ago.  Her latest search results have turned up Sydney Rose, who has come the farm with her own mystery of finding who her birth mother actually was, and hoping against hope to find her father as well.  What she finds may be a surprise to everybody.

Oh, what a great start to a new series by Melissa Tagg!  I love the Maine setting, on the rocky coast, with a blueberry farm and a small town with generations of history and mystery.  I loved Neil and his adopted sisters, Lilian and Indi, with mysteries and secrets of their own.  I did not expect there to be so many layers to this story, and I cannot wait to explore the depths of them in the books to come!

I give this book 4 stars - I was not expecting the central mystery to remain unresolved, but it gives me more incentive to watch anxiously for the next installment!
