The Inn at Ocean's Edge

Colleen Coble

Book - 2015

"A vacation to Sunset Cove was her way of celebrating and thanking her parents. After all, Claire Dellamore's childhood was like a fairytale. But with the help of Luke Elwell, Claire discovers that fairytale was really an elaborate lie...The minute she steps inside the grand Inn at Ocean's Edge, Claire Dellamare knows something terrible happened there. She feels it in her bones. Her ensuing panic attack causes a scene, upsetting her parents. Claire attempts to quiet her nerves with a walk on the beach, to no avail. She's at too great a distance to make out details, but she believes she witnesses a murder on a nearby cliff. When local police find no evidence of foul play, they quickly write off the "nervous" wom...an's testimony as less than credible. But Luke Elwell, home on leave from the Coast Guard, has reason to believe Claire. Years ago when his mother went missing, Luke's father suspected she'd been murdered. He died never having convinced the police to investigate. So when an employee of the grand hotel doesn't show up for work, Luke steps in to help Claire track down the missing woman. As Claire and Luke put together the pieces of a decades-old mystery, they discover that some family secrets refuse to stay buried. And some passions are worth killing for"--

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Coble (Tidewater Inn) doesn't disappoint with her custom blend of suspense and romance. Claire Dellamare checks into Hotel Tourmaline on the Maine island of Folly Shoals to cement a business deal, but suffers a panic attack. To calm herself, she walks to the ocean's edge and there has a chance encounter with Luke and Megan Rocco, siblings who reveal a secret from Claire's past. She begins having flashbacks, remembering her mysterious yearlong disappearance at age four. Claire knows her parents are keeping secrets, and she sets out to discover what happened 25 years earlier. Might her disappearance have anything to do with Luke's mother's disappearance at the same time? There are no dull moments here, thanks to three found bodies, five attempts on Claire's life, a host of horrible secrets, and the handsome Luke. The tale may be a bit over the top, but will surely keep readers turning pages. Agent: Karen Solem, Spencerhill Associates. (Apr.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
