Picking up a book from the Cedar Cove series is like catching up with old friends that you haven't seen in a while. This particular installment is focused on Sheriff Troy Davis and his on-again/off-again relationship with Faith (his high school sweetheart). We also get to visit with Olivia and Charlotte, find out how Teri is doing with the babies and what is new with James and Christie to name just a few. Not all of the characters from previous books are included, but that makes sense since there are so many that some are just mentioned in passing.
As usual, the read is quick and delightful with the regret being we have to wait until September of 2010 for the next installment ! This series along the Blossom Street series are two of my favorites when looking for warm, comforting books that make you feel better about the world. While not the same as Jan Karon's Mitford series or Philip Gulley's Harmony series, they share some similarities and I always look(ed) forward to what was coming next. My one mistake was that I had assumed the book "A Cedar Cove Christmas" published in October of 2008 was more of a stand-alone book rather than being the continuing story. I obviously missed some things that happened by not reading it and wish I would have. I was saving it for this coming holiday season and I'm looking forward to finding out all the details!
If you haven't read these, the best bet would be to go back to the beginning "16 Lighthouse Road" and go along in order. While enjoyable to just pick this one up and the author does a great job of giving you the information you need to know who people are -- it would be better to have all the history if possible.
I love to read Debbie Macomber's books because I always come away feeling a bit more positive about life and people in general. This book is her latest in the Cedar Cove series. The fictional town of Cedar Cove is based on her own town and at the end of August they hosted Cedar Cove Days and from what I've read it sounds like it was a big success (I did not attend the event).
This series started 9 years ago and she releases a new installment at the end of the summer each year. The number at the beginning of the address tells what book it is (for example 16 Lighthouse Road was first and 92 Pacific Boulevard is ninth). Each address belongs to one character or couple and the main story or mystery will revolve around him, her or them while all the other characters continue to make an appearance and continue forward with their lives. From when the series started a few characters have moved or passed away but most of them are the same although their lives may have changed. This installment deals with Sheriff Troy Davis and Faith Beckwith who was his first love but due to circumstances they ended up happily married to other people. Both are now widowed. A misunderstanding took place in the last book and they are still working through the fall-out plus Troy is trying to solve the case of the 25 year old skeleton found in a cave by two teenagers as well as looking for the person responsible for vandalizing Faith's rental home. Olivia is still fighting cancer and Ben continues to have problems and to be disappointed by his grown son David.
These characters feel like friends. It is a testament to Macomber that they feel like real people, the whole town feels real. There are times when I feel like authors allow their series to go on too long, but that is not the case here.
