In the peaceful town of Grace Valley, neighbors are like family -- and just as meddlesome, too.

June Hudson is the town's doctor, a caring, capable woman who now has a bit of explaining to do. People are beginning to notice the bloom in her cheeks -- and the swell of her belly. Happily, DEA agent Jim Post is back in June's arms for good, newly retired from undercover work and ready for new beginnings here in Grace Valley.

Expecting the unexpected is a way of life in Grace Valley, and the community is overflowing with gossip right now. Who is the secret paramour June's aunt Myrna is hiding? Does the town's pokerplaying pastor have too many aces up his sleeve? But when dangers, from man and nature, rise up with a vengeance to threaten June and the town, this community pulls together and shows what it's made of. And Jim discovers the true meaning of happiness here in Grace Valley: there really is no place like home.

But as things in her life seem to be going well the other townsfolk have some serious explaining to do...

Down by the River is the wonderfully penned conclusion to the Grace Valley trilogy and what a conclusion it turned out to be. I found the answers I was searching for and so much more between the pages of this one. I thoroughly enjoyed making a return visit to town and seeing how things turned out for everyone, it was such an entertaining and heartfelt journey... one I won't soon forget!

If you like small town romances with touches of mystery than I highly recommend you meet the folks of Grace Valley, they steal your heart and attention at first meet!
