Family Skeletons — Bobbie O'Keefe

Every family has its skeletons -- some figuratively, some literally--and the Corday family, on the scenic and idyllic northern California coast, has both.

Sunny Corday is a complex mixture of brash and vulnerable, a romantically gun-shy woman who has survived two disastrous marriages as well as a stint in rehab for a drug problem. She's trying to put the past behind her, but that's a difficult prospect when one's missing father is the root of the problem.

Jonathan Corday, a distant cousin she never knew she had, is as persnickety as Sunny is daring. He's simply looking for a relaxing vacation at the old Victorian they've jointly inherited on the northern California coast, but relaxation goes out the window when they literally run into each other -- and then start discovering skeletons.

A lively whodunit served up with surprises, laughs, romance, skeletons, missing victims and baseball bats, Family Skeletons is an entertaining read that will keep one guessing while the pages kept turning.
