Summary: Like a reunion with old friends
Comment: Debbie Macomber returns to the fictionalized setting of her own home town in this eighth book of the
Cedar Cove series. Favorite characters are revisited and they are involved with everything from
health problems to romantic troubles. Pastor Dave Flemming and his wife Emily are featured, but
some of the subplots involving Judge Olivia Griffin, Rachel Pendergast, Sheriff Troy Davis, and
Christie Levitt are actually more interesting. Several of the plots are left unresolved, as the
book "Cedar Cove Christmas" came out just a month after this book, and fans are directed towards
next September's entry in the series "92 Pacific Boulevard". This is an entertaining series which
keeps up reader's interest by including stories about several Cedar Cove characters which occur
simultaneously.

Summary: Another good entry in a good series
Comment: It's almost Christmas in Cedar Cove and Pastor Dave Flemming has plenty on his mind - the Christmas
pageant (with live animals!), sermons to write, sick parishioners to visit and more. He's a busy
man, but his wife Emily suspects something else is going on and begins to think her beloved husband
is up to no good. Other residents of Cedar Cove have their own issues to deal with. Sheriff Troy
Davis is pining after long lost love Faith Beckwith; Christie Levitt is fighting her attraction to
limo driver James Wilbur; and Olivia Lockhart Griffin is fighting breast cancer. As each of them and
other residents of Cedar Cove deal with their problems, they realize how much family, friends, and
neighbors mean to them.

"8 Sandpiper Way" is the eighth book in Debbie Macomber's Cedar
Cove series - a series that is a lot of fun to read. While the book definitely has a soap opera feel
- complete with a large cast of characters - Dave and Emily's problems are very real and very timely
in today's world. At times I wanted to yell at Dave for not confiding in Emily, but his keeping his
problems to himself is also very real. Besides David and Emily's story line, there are several other
story lines going on and the one that I like the most, more so in fact than Emily and Dave's, was
the interaction between Christie and James (and Macomber drops a bombshell in this plot line). Chess
player Bobby Polgar never seems quite real to me as a character but James his driver does. />
If there is a fault in this entertaining series, it is that Macomber has too many
characters in it. Because of this, some of the characters that featured prominently in past books in
the series - for example Maryellen and Jon Bowman, the Cox family, and Justin and Seth Gunderson are
either barely in the book or just mentioned in passing. This can be disappointing, especially since
Macomber introduces some new characters - Shirley Bliss, her daughter Tanni, and Shaw Wilson. While
I realize Macomber wants to keep the series fresh and Tanni and Shaw's story does end on a
cliffhanger that helps set up the next book in the series, neither of them do much for me as
characters.

"8 Sandpiper Way" is a nice cozy book to read. It's not terribly deep, but
Macomber seems to have had a lot of fun writing it (I suspect her tongue was firmly in cheek more
than once) and it is a lot of fun to read, especially during these cool autumn nights.

Summary: Favorite Series
Comment: This is one of my favorite series, you get to know each character in great detail and you can relate
to at least one of them. I would love to live in Cedar Cove!!!!!

Summary: My home away from home.
Comment: Another hit! Debbie Macomber has done it again. All of our favorite characters, with a few more
additions. I gobbled this book up in just a few short sittings, how can you help it?

I
won't go into all the details, but Emily is so sure her husband, Pastor Dave Flemming is having an
affair. She finds a set of diamond earrings in his coat pocket, he comes home late sometimes and
after making a phone call, Emily calls the number back and it is a woman! There are two teenagers in
here, searching for who they are, and end up with a whole lot more. Troy broke it off with Faith,
but Megan really seems to like Faith, who ran into her by accident when Faith started working at the
doctor's office.

I can't WAIT to read the next installment, 92 Pacific Blvd. It will
be a longgg year before it comes out!
