Customer Reviews
44 Cranberry Point is the fourth book in the Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber. In this book the focus is to be on the death that occured over a year ago at Bob and Peggy Beldon's bed and breakfast, the Tyme and Tyde. Bob had served in Vietman with the dead man and there is reason to believe that his life may also be in danger.
This book also features the continuing story of the other townsfolk. Jack and Olivia are back from their honeymoon and for them the honeymoon may be over as they try to mold their two lives into one. Olivia's mother Charlotte has fallen for a newcomer to town--Ben Rhoades. Olivia's brother Will (who lives out of state) wants Olivia to check into Ben's past to make sure he isn't a con artist. Grace Sherman is trying to put the pieces back together after Olivia's brother Will betrays her and it costs her the love of Cliff Harding. Cecelia and Ian are trying to work on their marriage after the death of their baby girl. These are just a few of the other stories being followed in this book.
44 Cranberry Point was a good book. It was nice to see what was happening to the various townspeople. I was a little upset with the mystery man storyline. I didn't think it was extremely well written. I hope Ms. Macomber doesn't try to add a mystery to all of her Cedar Cove books and just sticks with their everyday lives. That is what I love so much about her books. She writes about everyday people and their everyday lives. The characters in her books could be each readers next door neighbors. That is what attracts so many readers to her books again and again and I hope that is what she sticks with, instead of adding "mystery and suspense" to her books.
While 44 Cranberry Point is a book that stands on it's own it is helpful to read the previous three books in the series to get acquainted with all the characters. Overall this is a good read. - K. Morgan
