On Publication Day, I am delighted to take part in the celebrations for the final instalment of Laura Briggs' A Little Hotel in Cornwall series: The Cornish Key to Happiness
Past secrets return to complicate Maisie’s future with the
charming Sidney Daniels in the final installment of the Cornish romance series.
Picking up where book seven left off, Maisie’s plans to
celebrate her book’s thrilling news remain on hold after Sidney has vanished
from Port Hewer overnight, following a brush with his secret past. His
departure leaves Maisie with a head full of questions and a heart torn in two,
made even worse by the rumors flying about him through the town. Where and why
has he gone? Will he ever come back again? And—foremost in Maisie’s mind—was
the heartache from his younger days somehow to blame for his sudden and
mysterious flight?
But when Dean convinces her that Sidney may be facing a
choice that could ruin his life, Maisie must set out to find him, once again
leaving behind the Cornish seaside haven of Port Hewer she’s come to think of
as home, and leaving behind the answer to a secret she’s been longing to know
since the beginning. Not knowing when or if she’ll return, she’s taking the
biggest risk with her heart so far...and the truth she discovers waiting for
her at the end of her journey will make her wonder if things can ever possibly
be the same as they were before.
Questions are answered, secrets are spilled, and the biggest
reveal of the series is finally unveiled as A LITTLE HOTEL IN CORNWALL reaches
its exciting conclusion.
My Thoughts
This book marks the final part of the series and as such, there were revelations and surprises. It was good to have one's suspicions confirmed but no spoilers here as to what they may be. You also get to travel away from Cornwall again and meet a whole new range of characters. With her writer's eye, Maisie sums them up for us and as always, does not take fools lightly.
The pace never lets up to the end and it certainly ends with a bang. It is interesting to see Maisie and Sidney outside Cornwall and to see them in a completely different context. As a final episode, the story is totally satisfactory although you get the feeling that if the author wanted, she could set Maisie off on another journey. Who knows?
In short: Journey's end
