The Boat House by Fern Michaels is the second book in the Twin Lights series. This book follows siblings Madison and Lincoln Wainright as they take control to repair and reopen their uncle’s boathouse. The book is a contemporary mystery/love story with a lovely summer on the Jersey shore for the Taylor family.
Tied in with the siblings finding a new place and occupations seems to be a mystery for pirate’s treasure. A map on the wall of her late uncle’s office starts an obsession for neighbors who believe the map is accurate.
The map is stolen, people are coshed on the head and places are broken into. Top it all off we have Madison with a new love interest and a decision about where and how she wants for the future.
I like Fern Michaels as a writer. I think she writes well rounded stories. I think the mystery fell flat about the map to me. Certainly the deaths and violence made up a mystery, but I felt it was disparate to the mystery that we started with and focused on auxiliary characters. Despite my apprehension about the changing focus of theThe Boat House by Fern Michaels, it was entertaining.
