A light summer reading book, no doubt. Just he name screams it.
The story is set in New Hampshire, or was it Maine? Doesn't matter. Two toddler girls have been missing and then found murdered in quite a gruesome way. There is a rich family that comes to their lakeside "cottage" each summer. Their two sons have grown up coming there with mixed memories of their summers. To oomplicate things the daughter of one of the sons has gone missing and believed to be kidnapped or probably drowned in the lake. While searching the lake for the missing daughter, an old skeleton turns up at the bottom of the lake.
A quintet of ex-CIA operative who have settled in the area. It has fallen to the smart young female acting sherrif of the town upon whom it has fallen to investigate the murder and bring theperpetrator to justice. The CIA-types want to help and keep interfering with the police investigation, but just staying one step ahead. In the end, the CIA types were on the wrong track altogether. Anyway, interesting to read to find out how the story goes, but the CIA-types seem to be superfluous to the story, although they do provide a lot of the action. Read it or leave it.
