About the book: The Inn at Ocean's Edge (Thomas Nelson, April 2015)
Claire's visit to a luxury hotel in Maine awakens repressed memories, threatening all she holds dear.
In 1989, Claire Dellamare
disappeared from her own fourth birthday party at the Hotel Tourmaline
on the island of Folly Shoals, Maine. She showed up a year later at the
same hotel, with a note pinned to her dress but no explanation. Nobody
knows where Claire spent that year---and until now, Claire didn't even
know she had ever been missing.
But when Claire returns to
the Hotel Tourmaline for a business meeting with her CEO father,
disturbing memories begin to surface . . . despite her parents' best
efforts to keep them forgotten.
Luke Rocco lost his mother
under equally mysterious circumstances---at the same time Claire
disappeared. After a chance encounter reveals the unlikely link between
them, Claire and Luke set out together to uncover the truth about what
happened that fateful year.
With flashbacks swimming just
beneath her consciousness and a murderer threatening her safety,
Claire's very life depends on unscrambling her past . . . even if her
family refuses to acknowledge it. Someone-maybe everyone-is hiding
something from Claire Dellamare, and it will cost her everything to drag
the truth out into the light.
My review:
I could not put this book down! I stayed up too late finishing it. It was incredibly suspenseful and I had a hard time figuring it out. I started to guess near the end about a couple things, but there were a lot of twists and turns and I wasn't sure who the murderer was or what Claire's disappearance as a child had to do with it. There were some sweet romantic moments. I really liked the investigating as Luke and Claire tried to figure out what happened both twenty-five years ago and in recent days and whether they were related. The suspense was great as someone kept attacking her and they didn't know who. There were so many suspicious people and secrets. Claire and Luke both talk about trusting God and I especially liked what Claire said about none of this being a surprise to God. I loved how Claire was tough and stood up for herself. I liked Claire a lot, though she did one thing near the end that I thought was pretty dumb. I really liked Luke, too; he sounded pretty dreamy! The scenery was described so well I felt like I was there, experiencing the sea and wind. This is my favorite book of hers so far. I highly recommend it!
