Road Trip

By Mary Kay Andrews

Book Overview

New from the beloved New York Times bestselling author of Summers at the Saint and Hello, Summer

Pack your bags for a summer journey shaped by family secrets, long-buried history, and charming men with Irish accents.

Maeve and Therese Dunigan haven't spoken in years. Raised under the same roof in Savannah, the two sisters could not be more opposite--Maeve the rule follower, Therese the unapologetic rebel. But when their mother's death pulls them back together, they inherit more than just grief: a mysterious painting that may be worth millions...if it's real.

Determined to uncover the truth--and desperately in need of the money--the sisters set out on a journey to Ireland, tracing their family's roots and the origins of the portrait. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something deeper--a reckoning with the past, as they uncover secrets that span generations and reshape everything they thought they knew about their family.

With tensions simmering, the two hit the road and find themselves on twisty lanes, in colorful villages, at local pubs, and with handsome men whose gift of the gab is surpassed only by their charm.

Can Maeve and Therese actually survive the journey without killing each other? Join Mary Kay Andrews on a road trip that will entertain you for miles.

Heartwarming Irish mystery of second chances

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for a digital advance reader copy. All comments and opinions are my own unless otherwise noted. I’ve enjoyed several Mary Kay Andrews novels, and once again she’s given us an entertaining summer read that combines travel, mystery, and romance. Two sisters take a journey from Savannah, Georgia to a small Irish town outside of Dublin to research the value of a family painting they’ve inherited from their recently deceased mother. It’s engaging chick-lit that is evocative of an Irish fairy tale with a handsome Irishman, an evil villain, family lore, and the courage to take a leap of faith. The sisters combine the family legend with their current day research and discover their family roots. In addition, they are inspired by “the generations of smart, capable, strong-minded women in their family who’d lost so much, but who’d carried on and made a life for themselves.” In order to thoroughly appreciate this heartwarming combination of mystery, family drama, self-discovery, and second chances, I suggest you ignore the somewhat improbable coincidences and just sit back and enjoy the ride on this road trip.
