Good story, mystery, characters, and great read!

Carla Neggers is one of my favorite authors. She makes you feel like you belong with her characters, in their lives, loves and mysteries. This one reminds me alot of Finding You. The leading characters, Tess & Andrew develop quickly, are attached to the supporting members of their families, and have to solve a mystery. I like it best because you concentrate on the people involved, not worrying about "who done it" because you usually figure it out early on in the book. And, of course, I love the happy endings... I highly recommend all of her books, but love the New England one's (which most of them are) the best.

Another winner for Carla Neggers

I love a fast-paced, well-written romance with believable, engaging characters, humor and an engrossing plot, and Carla Neggers' latest kept me reading way past my bedtime. The emphasis here isn't on guess-who-dunnit nail-biting suspense, but compelling characters who draw you into their world. Graphic artist Tess Haviland is a strong-willed heroine more than a match for sexy, independent Andrew Thorne. His daughter, six-year old Princess Dolly, is a scene-stealer, and her unconventional babysitter, Harl, kept me chuckling. Even the charismatic, narcissistic Ike, who's disappeared and is seen only through others' eyes, is vivid and well-drawn. Every character also suffers a loss. Tess lost her mother to cancer, and Andrew his wife--and Dolly's mother--to an avalanche. Harl lost his innocence in Vietnam. This adds depth and poignancy to the story. Carla Neggers scores again.

This author always gives a great read

All her life Tess Haviland wanted to live in the North Shore Yankee community of Beacon-by-the Sea, but knew it was an impossible dream to attain. However, her fervent wish becomes true when rich, devilish Ike Grantham hires her Boston-based graphic design company to work on a restoration project. However, instead of receiving cash from her client, he gives her the deed to a cottage on the Thorne estate located at Beacon-by- the Sea.

For the next year, Tess fails to do anything with her new property because she expects Ike to demand its return to him. When Tess receives her property tax bill, she realizes she must decide what to do with her cottage. Her first night in her new home, Tess stumbles over a skeleton in her basement that simply disappears a few days later. Tess tries to persuade herself that she imagined the remains, but her neighbor Andrew Thorne refuses to allow her to lie even to herself. While they struggle with their attraction for one another, a killer will do anything, including murder again. to keep the truth buried.

Carla Neggers is renowned for her romance novels that capture the essence of New England living. The author does that quite well in her newest romantic suspense, THE CARRIAGE HOUSE. Although the suspense seems tepid because the culprits appear obvious early in the plot, the romance is quite heated, as the audience will adore the lead characters.

Vacation read

I recently read this book on my weekend trip to Palm Beach. It was a great relaxing read! Highly reccomended! Lots of fun!

Ocean front property

The book was a fast read. I thought the greatest part of the book was the way all the characters were portrayed. Tess and Andrew, the two main characters, were very close to their induvidual family members. Their family was very oppinionated, boisterous and humorous. You never knew what they were going to say or do next. The Mystery was not that hard to figure out. It was how everything was going to pan out in the end is what will keep you reading this book. All in all it wasn't a bad book. I would reccomend it to others to read.
