Let me start out by saying I have read all of Mary Kay Andrews books and this one is one of my favorites!! The High Tide Club had alot going on and it was great! I love books that are set in the low country. This one had mystery, intrigue, murder, romance and it was just a great plot! Here is the blurb from goodreads.com:
When ninety-nine-year-old heiress Josephine Bettendorf Warrick summons Brooke Trappnell to Talisa Island, her 20,000 acre remote barrier island home, Brooke is puzzled. Everybody in the South has heard about the eccentric millionaire mistress of Talisa, but Brooke has never met her. Josephines cryptic note says she wants to discuss an important legal matter with Brooke, who is an attorney, but Brooke knows that Mrs. Warrick has long been a client of a prestigious Atlanta law firm.
Over a few meetings, the ailing Josephine spins a tale of old friendships, secrets, betrayal and a long-unsolved murder. She tells Brooke she is hiring her for two reasons: to protect her island and legacy from those who would despoil her land, and secondly, to help her make amends with the heirs of the long dead women who were her closest friends, the girls of The High Tide Club, so named because of their youthful skinny dipping escapades. When Josephine dies with her secrets intact, Brooke is charged with contacting Josephines friends descendants and bringing them together on Talisa for a reunion of women whove actually never met.
Mary Kay Andrews out did herself!!! If you are looking for a good read, I would recommend this one!
I loved it too. I have read all of her books as well.
ReplyDeleteI have never read this author before!!! I love the Low Country and have read all of Anne Rivers Siddons' books and Dorothea Benton Frank's books, too.
