When ninety-year-old heiress Josephine Bettendorf Warrick summons attorney Brooke Trappnell to her 20,000 acre barrier island home, Brooke is puzzled. Everybody in the South has heard about the eccentric millionaire mistress of Talisa, but Brooke has never actually met her. Josephine's cryptic note says she wants to discuss and important legal matter, but why enlist Brooke and not the prestigious Atlanta law firm she has used for years?
I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.What can I say, I have read every single book by Mary Kay Andrews and each book just keeps getting better and better. This book is beach read/mystery/suspense all rolled up into one great story. Brooke Trappnell appeared in an earlier book and I was happy to learn more of Brookes story. Josephine Bettendorf Warrick was a woman of many secrets and I wasn't quite sure what to think of her at first meet but as her story unfolded I grew to love her. The High Tide Club consists of three very different woman who came together at a very different time in this country Pre-WWII. Millie, Ruth, and Varina along with Josephine are the members of this club. Each has their own secrets and story to tell. Brooke Trapnell is hired by Josephine for reasons that Brooke does not fully understand but all will be revealed.
All of the women in this book have secrets and a few of these secrets are interwoven. I thought that this was a touch darker than this authors past novels but it worked with the story line.
The only disappointment for me was that the book was not longer! If you are a fan of well written Women's Fiction, with a dash of mystery and suspense thrown in, along strong female characters then this book is for you.This review was originally posted on My Fiction Obsession
