Publisher Description

Welcome to Harbor Hills, Michigan, where four neighbors find they have more in common than a small-town street and more secrets than they know what to do with...

When a new neighbor moves onto the block, Beverly Castle is curious. The woman, Quinn, has a daughter, like Beverly. And like Beverly's, the neighbors' mother-daughter relationship appears... fragile. Hoping to preserve the peace on Apple Hill Lane, Beverly decides to keep her questions to herself. Until a secret from the past comes rearing its head.

The thing is, the secret has less to do with Quinn and more to do with every other woman who lives on Apple Hill Lane.

Can Beverly, Quinn, Annette, and Judith coexist on the same cul du sac? Or will the women behind white picket fences keep their welcome baskets to themselves?

“The House with the Blue Front Door is a continuation of the Harbor Hills series by Elizabeth Bromke. These characters are as endearing as they are fascinating. Four women who all live on the same cul-de-sac in Harbor Hills, Michigan have become friends. The House with the Blue door is occupied by Betsy, a reporter who lost her husband and daughter in a tragic accident. In this story Betsy uncovers new surprising revelations about the accident. Just as book one opens with a scene about an unknown girl coming to 696 Apple Hill Lane, book two includes more flashbacks with this girl. This leaves the reader to wonder just who she might be and how her story connects to the current residents. Book two also unearths some new surprises that will have the reading wishing Book 3 was already available. The series is filled with friendship, secrets and intrigue and I am invested in knowing what happens. Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read an advanced copy, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

“Interconnected and Interweaving. Bromke executes on an interconnected and interweaving style here better than many other attempts I've seen at such an approach. Told via half a dozen or so perspectives - mostly the various ladies who live in a particular neighborhood - this book has its own central mystery while also revealing bits and pieces of a larger mythos. A mythos that will leave the reader with bated breath desperate for the next book... where it is possible Bromke will continue to tease out this particular larger, seemingly darker, mystery. If you are a reader that can have *no possible spoilers* when reading a book, you're going to want to start with Book 1 of this series. I personally started with Book 2 and had no real problems following the story (thanks in part to Bromke putting a summary of each character and where they are at the start of the tale), but I generally have no issues doing this and back reading the original stories. This is one of those women's fiction tales that might come close to the cozy mystery label, perhaps - I've never read a book knowing it was labeled as a "cozy mystery", but knowing how friends speak of what that genre entails, this book certainly gets close to that feeling. Ultimately a fun, compelling, and short-ish (just over 200 page?) read that truly will have you coming back to this series. Very much recommended.”
