It was the perfect place to disappear…
One sultry summer, Maureen Haddaway arrives in the wealthy town of Opal Beach to start her life anew—to achieve her destiny.

Decades later, when Allison Simpson is offered the opportunity to house-sit in Opal Beach during the off-season, it seems like the perfect chance to begin fresh after a messy divorce. But when she becomes drawn into the mysterious disappearance of a girl thirty years before, Allison realizes the gorgeous homes of Opal Beach hide dark secrets. And the truth of that long-ago summer is not even the most shocking part of all…

Summary
A story told by two characters - Maureen a young girl who works at a local carnival in Opal Beach. Then thirty years later, Allison - who is house sitting in a beautiful house overlooking the ocean and Opal Beach.
Maureen goes missing and nobody has solved her disappearance in decades. Allison, who is enjoying her house sitting in the beautiful home hears about the missing girl and although it all happened years ago, Allison starts to put together the story of young Maureen and tries to find out what happened to her.
This story held my interest to the end, but jumping from past to present day, was a bit confusing.
