Sophie Honeywell always wondered if Thomas Gordon was the one that got away. When she turned down his proposal three years ago, she broke his heart. Now that Sophie is single, longing for a baby and nearly 40, he’s starting to look a lot more attractive... Sophie is just as shocked as Thomas when his Aunt Connie dies and leaves Sophie her beautiful house on Scribbly Gum Island. This tiny island is home to the famous ’Munro Baby Mystery’ - a seventy-year-old unsolved crime. Sophie soon discovers that nearly everyone has a secret, and the biggest secret of all, the truth behind the Munro Baby Mystery, is set to explode on an extraordinary night that will test a marriage, a family and a friendship - the Last Anniversary. ’Original and entertaining...deeply affecting’ The Australian ’A stunner several shades darker than typical chick lit... Moriarty’s prose turns from funny through poignant to frightening in an artful snap.’ - Publishers Weekly ’Intriguing mystery-cum-drama...things nearly fall apart before coming together in this endearing story that, like life, is a mix of the sad, the happy, the absurd and the magical.’ - Australian Women’s Weekly Book of the Month
