Come back with me to Rock Harbor this ChristmasI have thoroughly enjoyed Colleen Coble's Rock Harbor Mystery series thus far, and this is no different. I admire authors who can write novellas, with the same depth to their characters, the same suspense and awesome climax we have come to expect from them, in the reduced variation of a short story. Although we return to  Bree and Kade, and they feature largely in it, this story is really about Lauri, Kade's irresponsible sister. Join me in learning to know this young woman, who since she lost her parents which she was 15 years old has been rebelling against her brother's guidance. At 21, she has already had a child, who she gave up to loving parents closely connected to Bree and Kade. Now she wants to prove to them that she is maturing.I enjoyed the escape of the book, into the hilly country around Lake Superior, but I loved the way Colleen showed how diligent and seriously Lauri tried to prove herself to her family and friends. I loved the way Lauri and the adoptive mother of her child handled the process of introducing Lauri, and in similar circumstances I would wish to see that happening in reality.
