I am thrilled to be part of the celebrations for Laura Briggs' 7th visit to A Little Hotel In Cornwall with the penultimate book in the series, A Stargazy Night Sky.
Starry autumn nights are bringing a rare celestial event and
exciting new guests to the shores of the sleepy hotel Penmarrow.
Maisie is happy to be back among its staff, even with the
question of its future ownership still in the air and the fate of her
unpublished manuscript soon to be in the hands of London acquisitions editors.
More than anything else, she’s happy to finally be in a relationship with
Sidney Daniels, the sparks between them no longer denied. She’s excited for the
future and things couldn’t be better with regards to romance … except for those
lingering little questions about Sidney’s uncertain past, that is.
Meanwhile, the staff at the Penmarrow is tasked with hosting
a special celestial conference where stargazers are gathering for a glimpse of
the much-anticipated comet. The ever-timid maid Molly is flustered by the
return of charming astronomer George and seems to need a little advice on how
to rekindle the spark they shared last autumn. Hotel porters Gomez and Riley
vie for the attentions of a mysterious female guest, the eccentric ‘Megs’
Buntly pays another visit, and a dramatic revelation about someone on staff
will leave Maisie and everyone else reeling from the unexpected news. Is this
the moment for the revelation Maisie has been waiting for since her Cornish
journey began?
Brimming with humor, romance, and the kind of surprises its
fans have come to expect, the seventh book in the series brings a twist at the
end that’s sure to leave readers excited — and anxious — for the conclusion of
Maisie’s original gorgeous Cornish adventure.
My Thoughts
You really have a sense when reading this 7th book in the series, that you are nearing the home straight and getting closer to a few truths. Nevertheless, a new mystery appears to taunt the reader, just when you think certain truths are going to be revealed. The story ends with a bit of a cliffhanger but nicely set up for the final home run.
All the familiar characters are there and there is plenty of humour to be had from some of the hotel staff, as usual. The community at Penhallow seem as close knit as ever. I much prefer the stories which are set back at the hotel which always feels like the central hub of the story. Lots to look forward to with Book 8- I can't wait!
In short: Autumn draws in at Penhallow
