Eve has always loved antiques.
She loves the way an item from the past can offer a glimpse of another world, of another time. It's why she painstakingly researches the stories behind every item in Rainy Day Antiques, her little Cambridge shop, to share with their new owners. It's her way of honouring the past and cherishing the present.
Adam is firmly focussed on the future.
He's only in town to sort his late grandfather's affairs. When he discovers that his grandfather hired Eve to manage his house clearance, he can only hope her methods don't delay his return to London.
What neither of them know is that Adam's grandfather chose Eve for a reason. It's finally the right place and the right time for the two of them to meet. But what did he have planned for them?
I have enjoyed many books by Ali McNamara so I was looking forward to her new release Right Place, Right Time.
This story line follows Eve who runs a little antiques shop called Rainy Day Antiques which is set in the quaint little square called Clockmaker Court in Cambridge. Their is a close knit community in the court, all supporting each others businesses and providing friendships alongside which I love and before long you want to be a part of the court.
Eve meets Adam who is the love interest in this storyline but sparks don’t fly instantly as Eve is called in to hold the house clearance as requested by Adams late Grandfather.
I was thoroughly enjoying this storyline learning more about Adam and Eve and I was becoming intrigued by this mysterious quest that seemed to have brought them both together. I can’t lie I was a little surprised when suddenly around 3/4 of the way through the book it took an unexpected turn and the revelation seemed so out of place with the rest of the book it felt for a while like I had picked up another story!
My attention did waiver a little at this point but I persevered with it and luckily my attention was piqued again and I enjoyed the bizarre remainder of the book.
This was unlike anything I have read before it began with a cute cosy vibe with a blossoming romance developing and later turns into something more “out there” and questionable is probably the only way I can explain it without giving away the storyline.
