The House at Saltwater Point

By: Colleen Coble

Narrated by: Devon O'day

When a house flipper’s sister vanishes and the Coast Guard suspects she faked her own death, Ellie must find her sister before they do.

Ellie Blackmore is making a name for herself as a house flipper. But when her sister Mackenzie disappears, Ellie can’t focus on anything but uncovering what happened. Her only clue is the bloodstain on the deck of Mackenzie’s boat. Ellie knows her sister isn’t on the best of terms with her ex-husband, Jason, but he wouldn’t kill her—would he?

Coast Guard intelligence officer Grayson Bradshaw believes Mackenzie faked her own death after stealing a seized cocaine shipment. The problem is convincing Ellie, who seems to view him as the true enemy.

Both Ellie and Grayson want truth, but truth—and family—is often more complex than it first appears. And they’ll quickly find that the dangerous beauty of Lavender Tides is harboring secrets that reach around the world.

Critic reviews

'House flipper and blogger Ellie Blackmore tends to hide behind her glasses, but when her sister Mackenzie vanishes, Ellie can't hide from reality any longer--her sister may be dead. Grayson Bradshaw, a Coast Guard intelligence officer, has just received the shock of his life. His biological sister has informed him he's adopted. In their hometown, Grayson pursues a clever terrorist who has evaded him for too long. There, evidence connects the terrorist, Mackenzie, and the theft of a cocaine shipment. Grayson believes Mac has faked her own death to escape with the drugs. As attraction grows between Grayson and Ellie, they pursue the truth, with Grayson holding firmly to the evidence and Ellie to her heart. Coble fans will appreciate this book.'

“Hammer Girl”

JWright
A Colleen Coble novel is always a great author choice when I’m undecided about my next book. This is the first selection I have read of the Lavender Tides Series.
It did not disappoint.
Devon O’Day is a great narrator who simply reads with expression without attempting different voices. Such attempts can sometimes backfire.
The plot kept me guessing until the very end. Check it out!

Great book!

I love the books by Colleen Coble and this one was no exception. Plenty of plot twists, romance, and wonderful characters.

really enjoyed this series

Lots of excitement and intrigue mixed with family discovery. good fast pace. really enjoying this series

Good second book

This was an intriguing story, a little unbelievable (but it is fiction), and a good read overall. I only gave it 4 stars because of the “Hammer Girl Blog” quotes at the beginning of EVERY chapter ... I was so glad there wasn’t an epilogue and I’d have to hear one more ... they became soooo annoying. It wouldn’t have been a problem if I’d been reading the book, as I’d have just skipped over them, but listening gave me no choice. Looking forward to the next book and finding the third sibling.

Colleen Coble’s passion

I too like to remodel and design interior and exterior of homes. This book was well put together with all the details love all your books Colleen.
