Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts
In the mood for a good Nora Robert's read? If so, you might want to give this one a try. The author expertly helps the reader visualize the shores of Whiskey Beach in Massachusetts. High above the hissing, crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean sits ancient, magnificent Bluff House. Long ago, pirates sailed the sea and legend has it that the gold and precious jewels of Esmeralda's Dowry are still hidden somewhere in this forlorn location.
Eli Landon has returned to his ancestral home, Bluff House, having been accused, but never convicted of killing his wife. A former successful criminal defense lawyer, he now finds himself without a job, friends, or purpose in his life. His grandmother has had a serious, life-threatening fall, and Eli has agreed to look after the home while she recovers. Upon his return, he soon realizes that he feels a strong sense of belonging and wonders why he stayed away so long. He meets quirky, attractive housekeeper, Abra Walsh, who is determined to nurse Eli back to health both physically and emotionally. Together they discover secret, hidden passageways in Bluff House, and evidence that someone has been digging trenches in the basement.
Enter a Boston police detective who is convinced that Eli has managed to get away with the murder of his estranged wife, Lindsay-after all, she was in line to walk away with her share of the Landon whiskey fortune should they divorce. Combined with her infidelity, it only seems logical that Eli would be a prime suspect. Once Eli begins to take control of his life, he decides to confront these accusations and prove his innocence.
Could the search for lost treasure and murder somehow be related?
Nora Roberts will take you on a suspenseful journey to the very end with twists and turns along the way. I think you will have fun getting there.....
