Why read it?
2 authors picked Going to Beautiful as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Diverse characters who feel like friends; a picturesque town that will have you checking Google maps for your next road trip; a murder; an unexpected love story; what is not to love about this book?
This is my favorite read of the year. I still envision the characters months after reading, as if I visited “Beautiful” on a wild adventure to solve a mystery and met an eclectic bunch of new travel mates along the way. The ending will surprise you in more ways than one. An easy, solid 5+ stars for this one.
From Sue's list on romantic suspense with real-life characters.
Going to Beautiful is a murder mystery and a love story. When Jake Hardy’s husband Eddie falls to his death from the balcony of their Toronto condo, Jake is beyond devastated. His journey of healing takes him to Beautiful, a Ukrainian village on the Saskatchewan prairies where he meets Eddie’s family and learns their secrets. Touching, intriguing, with utterly believable characters, Going to Beautiful is a page-turner set in a part of Canada that many Canadians have never visited. And it’s the best book I’ve read this year!
