Summary

For more than 300 years, Bluff House has sat above Whiskey Beach, guarding its shore - and its secrets. But to Eli Landon, it’s home.…

A Boston lawyer, Eli has weathered an intense year of public scrutiny and police investigations after being accused of - but never arrested for - the murder of his soon-to-be-ex wife.

He finds sanctuary at Bluff House, even though his beloved grandmother is in Boston recuperating from a nasty fall. Abra Walsh is always there, though. Whiskey Beach’s resident housekeeper, yoga instructor, jewelry maker, and massage therapist, Abra is a woman of many talents - including helping Eli take control of his life and clear his name. But as they become entangled in each other, they find themselves caught in a net that stretches back for centuries - one that has ensnared a man intent on reaping the rewards of destroying Eli Landon once and for all.…

Second recording so much better

Revisited this since it's been recorded again with a new narrator....and it's a completely different listening experience. Luke Daniels gives the characters' life and personality, which was lacking in the first narration, and makes it incredibly easy to care about and empathize with them. You know immediately who's talking, each character has a distinct voice, brilliantly done. The story took on a different perspective with much more depth and was like a first listen. Loved it this time round.

Unsuitable narrator unfortunately

What did you like best about Whiskey Beach? What did you like least?

Nora Roberts writes great books so a no star review will not affect her in the least, but the narrator was unsuitable for this story as his 'female' voice sounded ridiculous. Why did he have to resort to a simpering man to get the heroine's dialogue across!?

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

DNF

Would you be willing to try another one of Luke Daniels’s performances?

No

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Yes, probably.

Any additional comments?

Will be more careful when ordering audio books!

TYPICAL NORA ROBERT

This story is a typical Nora Roberts. It is filled with wonderful characters, humor, romance, plots with lots of unexpected twists and turns, a book that keeps you want to know more. Being a Nora Roberts fan I enjoyed the book.

Too soppy and soapy for me

Not sure what attracted me to this book but it was far too soppy with a far fetched story line .
I like a good Chicklit book but this of course is under the romance genre .
My fault, I finished it, but not really sure why !

Not up to her usual standard

What disappointed you about Whiskey Beach?

I am a big fan of Nora Roberts, and when she makes an effort her standalone romances are often her best work - The Witness was great - but this has a knocked off feel to it. Boring plot, and the lead female character was AWFUL. So smug and annoying, even worse than Mia Devlin in Face the Fire. Eli really should not have let her get away with dictating to him so much and "knowing better" than him constantly. I feel very sorry for him if he's stuck with her ever after.

Has Whiskey Beach put you off other books in this genre?

Nope. Nora is very variable, so you take pot luck. She can write extremely well, but she doesn't always bother to.

What character would you cut from Whiskey Beach?

Abra!

Does not disappoint

If you could sum up Whiskey Beach in three words, what would they be?

Enjoyable, interesting, worthwhile

Who was your favorite character and why?

Eli as the main character. It was great 'seeing' his journey back to health.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No but would be prepared to.do.so. His female accents do come across as a little camp but not annoying

Any additional comments?

Read the paperback so knew the story but thoroughly enjoyed the audio version.

A romantic thriller

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Many many wonderful scenes impossible to pick a favourite.

Any additional comments?

This is the 1st book I've read by Nora Roberts, but it won't be the last. The characters were brilliantly written by her and portrayed by the narrator. They were people you began to care about, wanting things to go well for them and whilst the story was fairly predictable it was told well and kept me listening, not wanting it to end.

Same old, same old

Pretty daft storyline of a previous family member burying treasure on the beach and lots of people trying to find it; while present day family deals with an ailing grandmother and false accusations of murder.
