The Three Minute Bride

When Rebecca MacKenzie’s new husband falls to his death on their wedding day, she inherits a run-down, century-old house on a cliff overlooking the sea – in addition to his large publishing fortune. At loose ends, Rebecca heads to Maine to finish the renovation project Henry had started. She soon falls in love with the odd little seaside town and is befriended by a group of artists, an eighty-two-year-old ex-showgirl and a homeless dog. When murder strikes close to home and an attempt is made on the life of the veterinarian living in the old lighthouse up the road, Rebecca can’t shake the feeling that she is somehow at the center of it all. Will murder, nighttime intruders and a dark-eyed challenger to her memories of Henry let her find the peace and healing she had come to Maine for? Set in the optimistic, post-war days of 1949, this novel is full of lovable, quirky characters, mystery, romance, humor and surprises.
