Olivia Lockhart-Griffin
Cedar Cove, Washington
I'm pretty shocked by something I've just heard. Emily Flemming is afraid that her husband, Dave, might be having an affair. She apparently found an earring in his pocket—and it wasn't hers. And she says he's been coming home late and acting secretive. Not only that, some jewelry was recently stolen from an old woman, and Dave (in his capacity as pastor) used to visit her a lot….
This is all so hard to believe! Dave's a good pastor and a good man. He and Emily appear to have the perfect life, with their children, Matthew and Mark, and their lovely home at 8 Sandpiper Way. But I guess things aren't always as they seem. Listener, I'd love to hear what you think, and so does Emily.
I have some personal news, too—it's turning out to be a challenging year. But there are also some interesting updates about our friends in Cedar Cove. Like Sheriff Troy Davis, to mention one. Guess what? His long-ago love, Faith Beckwith, has just moved back here!
Hope you'll join Emily and me for a cup of tea soon.

"This is the 8th book in Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber and is a continuation of the lives of all of the different people in the town of Cedar Cove. There is romance, suspense and relationships between family members and friends that continue to develop."
— Niki (4 out of 5 stars)
" This series is getting like a bad soap opera. Macomber tries to put all of her characters from the previous books in the series into this book. The story is diluted and disjointed. I was disappointed. I will try book 9 to see if she has recovered her style or I will have to stop this series. "
— Ginny, 2/16/2014" I can't wait for the nextbook, Cedar Cove Christmas! There was so much left information left hanging that makes me sad till the next book comes out. "

— Sue, 11/21/2013" I am afraid that several other reviewers are correct. This was not the best book in the series. Cliched characters and situations. I have just finished three books in a row while on vacation. This one was definitely not the best of 6,7, and 8. "

— April, 8/27/2013" B: I'm not sure if it's because I'm not reading these in order or what, but I had a difficult time following the story. There seemed to be too many characters and storylines to keep track of. I do enjoy Maccomber's tales and will still give the rest a try. "
— Cathy, 6/22/2013" I usually like Macomber but this one had so many different plotlines that I put it down one afternoon, picked it up again the next day, and discovered I had no idea who was who and who was doing what. Boo! "

— Glenette, 6/22/2011" There were a lot of characters in this book to keep up with, which isn't great for somebody who reads multiple books at a time like me. The end was pretty uneventful, leading me to wondering if this is supposed to be continued in a second book. I wouldn't bother. "
— James, 4/26/2011" This is the 8th book in Macomber's "Cedar Cove" series. I like this series because they are quick reads. Although the books are "quick reads", I can't read more than 2 at a time or I get bored with them & they also tend to sort of run together for me. "
— Ginger, 4/2/2011" My first of this series, but I enjoyed it, even though it's actually #8. Now I'll need to go back and read some of the previous books. Not heavy fiction, but definitely a nice way to spend a dreary day. "
— Kw, 2/11/2011" nice easy read, characters are just barely interesting enough. enjoyed. was a fast read. "

— Brenda, 12/20/2010" Started this this morning and then realized I should read the Christmas one first... <br/>For some reason the Flemmings irritated me more than anything else, but it was still a pleasant read. "
— penelopewanders, 9/13/2010" Not my favorite of the series. I just don't care for the preacher's wife. "
