Hello, Summer
Hello, Summer
Synopsis
Conley Hawkins left Silver Bay and The Silver Bay Beacon, the newspaper her family has run for generations, and made herself a star reporter. When the prestigious Washington job she was about to take collapses before she starts it, she goes home, and her sister Grayson, who is holding the Beacon together, hands her the local gossip column: Hello, Summer.
Then Conley is first on the scene of an accident that kills a beloved congressman, a decorated war hero with a past that does not survive scrutiny. The column becomes cover for a real investigation, and the deeper she goes the less the town wants the story told. An old heartbreaker resurfaces, a new one appears, and the summer turns loud.
Mary Kay Andrews writes it as a beach read with a spine — Southern small-town comedy, family friction, and a genuine mystery underneath.
