Waving at Strangers — R.B. Banfield

Max, a struggling novelist and retired Elvis impersonator, is writing a book about Sophie who takes a holiday in the sleepy town of Gendry. Sophie is staying with her grandmother Susan and her three young children, where she hopes to relax from life in the big city, and write a novel. There is a murder in town, but the local sheriff has more trouble dealing with the missing twins Kerry and Jerry. Sophie gains the attention of a mysterious man named Craigfield, and finds she has more in common with him that she thought.
