The House on Fripp Island by Rebecca Kauffman

Scott and his wife, Lisa, win a raffle for a four-day vacation to Fripp Island in South Carolina. They decide to invite Lisa's best friend from childhood, Poppy, and Poppy's family to accompany them, since Poppy has been such a help to Lisa's mother, Carol, as she recovers from cancer surgery. Scott, Lisa, and their two daughters, Rae and Kimmy, lead an upper class lifestyle, while Poppy, her husband, John, and their two children, Ryan, and Alex, have had to struggle financially. The House on Fripp Island recounts the story of the vacation through the eyes of the two families, but with a dark undertone. The reader knows that one member of the group will die by drowning, which the authorities determine was accidental, but was actually murder. Recommended for those who enjoy stories that explore family relationships. It will be published in June.
