Angelica, Lisa and Claire are best friends. They all
live on the same block and see each other every day. All
three have their own problems. Claire has a son Justin
who is a teenager with a lot of problems. Lisa is raising
twin daughters. Angelica is single, but just can't find
the right person.
These three women all have money problems. Until one
day, another friend of theirs Maga, wants them to spy on
her husband. Maga feels that he is having an affair. So
they take the job and find out that he is just planning a
surprise anniversary party for her. Maga is thrilled and
spreads the work that they are great investigators. So
their new lives as private investigators take shape.
They find out that they are really good at this and the
extra money is helping all of them out. Through all
this, they also run into some personal problems. Justin
is really heading down the wrong path. The group that he
is running with is now mugging people. Lisa's love life
is going in the wrong direction. Just when she thought
that Niall is going through with his divorce, his wife
lets her know that this is never going to happen.
Angelica has met the women of her dreams.
A tragic accident hits all of them pretty hard. Can
they keep their promise of Snowdrops in Summer?
What a great book. Helen Duggan shows what true
friendship is all about. I know I have several very
close friends that would do anything for me as I would
for them. Helen Duggan combines friendship, family and
humor into this story line.
I have never read any of Helen Duggan's books, but would
not hesitate to read another one. I also loved how
Helen Duggan shows how friends can call each other out,
and still remain close friends.
Another great read for the summer. Pick this book up,
relax and enjoy.
"Whatever happens, we'll always be heart friends."
For "heart" friends Angelica, Lisa, and Claire, nothing has
ever come easily. With little money and worse luck, they
soldier on as best they can in the small village of Newton,
edging the South Wales valleys.
Angelica has no trouble attracting men, but it's a woman she
wants, and she's unlikely to meet her in her job as manager
of a café. Lisa and Claire are single mothers. Lisa supports
twin teenage daughters and cleans the local police station
while carrying on with dishy policeman Niall, chained to a
Catholic wife who won't divorce him. Claire's son Justin is
a budding hoodlum, one false step away from prison. Sweet
but ineffectual Claire is afraid to lay down the law for
Justin and too cowed by life to believe any man will ever
want her.
Then comes the chance they've been waiting for: their
well-to-do friend Mags hires them to do a bit of detecting,
which leads to more profitable ventures. At first it's all a
lark, as they stumble onto the truth, despite their lack of
experience. But flying blind is no way to run a business. Be
that as it may, in the face of the ultimate challenge, their
friendship remains steadfast.
