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.
