Panic gripped Abby Parson's chest and squeezed her heart as she left the attorney's office, his words chilling. The grandmother she had loved and trusted died unexpectedly, leaving her with a deceit so profound, it undercut all she believed. Who was the woman who reared her and said she was Abby's sole relation? Was I abducted, abandoned, or worse? Who am I? Trained by a master artist, A.S. Parsons is becoming a success in the art world when the mantle of anonymity wipes out her past. A mysterious box arrives, containing clues to her real identity, and Abby burns to find answers. This unexpected trove of information spurs her to search for relatives and closure. She finds her fictional life was concocted by two women, trying to save her from the people who murdered her family. Abby's quest leads her to Savannah, Georgia, and Mast Island, the ancestral domain of the DuMond family. Her presence on the island places her in peril. Noah Hazzard, a biologist researching marine life, warns Abby of danger. The heritage stamped on her face declares Abby an unknown DuMond and a possible threat to their empire. Abby dismisses his warning, until her life is threatened. Noah, a support professional with the FBI investigating the DuMond family, decides Abby needs his protection. Abby's journey is one of devastating loss and unexpected discoveries. Her appearance on Mast Island opens a door to family secrets, which leads to death and destruction. She becomes the catalyst, setting into motion the downfall and the redemption of a family imprisoned by the past. Other titles by Anne Nichols Reynolds, Winter Harvest and A Will of Her Own

It would be imprudent and impudent to speak too precisely of plot details that give shape to Anne Nichols Reynolds' new novel, Mast Island, a complex narrative with many intriguing characters and events. At the story's heart resides a mystery, perhaps the most elemental mystery of all; it asks, Who am I? What is my origin? What face do I wear that resembles the features of my forebears? Such is the plight of Abigail Serena Parsons, the novel's protagonist. Like Ms. Reynolds' previous heroines, Abby is stalwart, determined, and undaunted by forces that would dissuade her from discovering her familial identity. Also like previous Reynolds women, she is endowed with an artistic sensibility. She's a gifted and accomplished painter. By dint of this, many painterly images crop up that serve the story well in terms of bringing out character and adding pertinent brush strokes to the island on which much of the action occurs. The best way to draw you into this sometimes-Gothic, sometimes-Agatha Christie/Rebecca Du Maurier-like ("murder most foul" is at hand), and always romantic (this is, after all, Anne Nichols Reynolds) saga, is to ask you to imagine that your heritage is not what you assumed, that your closest "relation" does not share your blood line at all. Throw into the mix that you had a twin who, along with your mother, apparently was murdered (why and by whom?), and your father's fate (also murdered--or is he a revenant?), is severely compromised. Would you leave it alone, given your current happy circumstances, or would you be compelled to unravel the secrets of your past, at the expense of your personal safety, even your life? Abby Parsons is drawn like magnet to steel to the picturesque yet increasingly sublime Mast Island, where answers and dangers abound. It is a testimony to Ms. Reynolds' skills that, with a painterly eye, she is able to evoke a sense of place with artfully woven diction and syntax. The salt marshes, cord grass, rotted vegetation that underscore the theme as well as bring the island sensuously alive, are ingrained in what you suspect might be a fetid, vitiated index to the powerful, generational DuMond family to whom Abby attempts to trace her origins. Or is it? Therein lies the novel's suspenseful undertow. The inevitable romantic interest, Dr. Noah Hazzard, comes equipped with cavalier grace and charisma which (no spoiler here) will earn his way swiftly and assuredly into Abby's heart, although he is absent throughout much of the narrative due to a violent and cataclysmic event central to the action. There are many lines I savor in this book, not least of which is this: "The shadows were as important to the painting as the subject." This pertains not only to painting, but to literature, and by extension, to life. Undiluted diurnal effects, minus the nocturnal, are not true to life, and therefore they constitute a lie, and we know the artist must never lie; otherwise, we shall see the fabrication for what it is. As referenced late in Mast Island, Daphne Du Maurier's novel Rebecca leaves us with a reflection of "death, obsession, and love," which lie at the heart of any honest story, our own as well as that of fictional characters. Mast Island does indeed honor the shadows as well as the light. The result is a story told winningly and charmingly as it slips with ease into the growing oeuvre of Anne Nichols Reynolds.

Mast Island is an engaging semi-mystery that enlightens the reader about the world of an exhibiting fine artist and the dark world of a once-
wealthy Old World family that has settled on an Island off Savannah. There is a love story, and more than one instance of violence, as Abby
attempts to trace her roots. Superb descriptive detail. Good reading.

Very refreshing that an author can write an intriguing storyline without relying on vulgarity and sex. I really enjoyed reading Mast Island and Winter Harvest and am looking forward to the next one. I met Anne Reynolds several years ago and she is a truly lovely lady and very talented. I hope there will be a fourth book coming soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complicated success
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2016
I once reviewed manuscripts for a literary agent. I read a number that were very complex novels and in all the writer lost his or her ability to make a complicated novel work well. This is a complex novel with complex plots and complex characters. The writer made everything come together into an excellent novel. This book deserves an award.
