The Summer That Changed Everything by Brenda Novak
MIRA (June 3, 2025)
She returned to prove her father’s innocence, but there’s no telling what she’ll find…
It’s been fifteen years since Lucy Sinclair saw her father. Fifteen long years since she sat in a courtroom and watched him sentenced to life in prison. He murdered three victims—all people she knew—which ruined her life at just seventeen. But now she’s back in Virginia to talk to him, wondering if there’s more to the story of what happened that fateful night.
An old flame, Ford Wagner, makes his own return to North Hampton Beach, fleeing a marriage that seems destined for divorce. He’s wary of Lucy and her digging into the past, but the more time they spend together, the closer they get and the more he finds himself reconsidering the truth behind the death of their mutual friend that summer. Problem is, there are plenty of those in this small coastal town who would prefer things stay quiet…

REVIEW
The Summer That Changed Everything has a perfect mix of mystery, romance, and redemption. The writing draws you into the story, characters, the plot, and setting. The murder mystery has a lot of suspects that kept me guessing until the end. I really enjoyed this romantic mystery and highly recommend it.
