Synopsis: Rosa Larkin is down on her luck in London, so when she inherits a near-derelict corner shop in a quaint Devon village, her first thought is to sell it for cash and sort out her life. But nothing is straightforward about this legacy. While the identity of her benefactor remains a mystery, he - or she - has left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it.
Rosa makes up her mind to give it a go: to put everything she has into getting the shop up and running again in the small seaside community of Cockleberry Bay. But can she do it all on her own? And if not, who will help her succeed - and who among the following will work secretly to see her fail?
There is a handsome rugby player, a sexy plumber, a charlatan reporter and a selection of meddling locals. Add in a hit and run incident and the disappearance of a valuable engraved necklace – and what you get is a journey of self-discovery and unpredictable events.
With surprising and heartfelt results, Rosa, accompanied at all times by her little sausage dog Hot, will slowly unravel the shadowy secrets of the inheritance, and also bring her own, long-hidden heritage into the light.
My Reading Right Now! Thoughts: This is a cute, fun story! It's about a girl named Rosa who has had kind of a hard life. She really has no family of her own, not a fun childhood, and is kind of floating through life. The story starts with a mysterious brief case, a mysterious inheritance, and Rosa losing yet another job! She opens the briefcase and discovers that she's inherited the Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay. She has no idea who left it to her or why. The inheritance does come with a catch though, she can't sell it. She journeys down to Cockleberry Bay and discovers a place and people that she comes to love.
I'm currently reading this and am really enjoying it so far. Rosa seems like a spit fire, but that fire hides a girl who never got that family love or affection. She wears her sarcasm like a shield.
The residents of Cockleberry Bay seem nice and a little kooky. I love small town stories. The characters there are always so fun. Everybody knows everybody, there are no secrets. I did find it kind of funny how Rosa tried to keep her inheritance of Cockleberry Bay a secret from the town at first.
I was definitely intrigued by Rosa's inheritance of this mysterious shop from a mysterious person. It came at exactly the right time for her though. It's definitely a story that hooked me.
I loved Hot Dog! I'm a sucker for dogs.
I'm really enjoying the writing style of The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay. It definitely pulled me in.
I'm enjoying the story and can't wait to read more of it.
