The Inn at Holiday Bay: Promise in the Proposal

The Inn at Holiday Bay, Book 38

By: Kathi Daley

Narrated by: Angel Clark

Christmas may be packed away, but in Holiday Bay, the chaos is just getting started.

Colt’s first case as a newly hired county detective is anything but routine. A shocking murder, a web of buried secrets, and three long-forgotten cold cases left behind by his predecessor collide in ways Colt never saw coming—and solving the present crime may depend on unlocking the past.

While Abby and Lacy pour their energy into a community fundraiser, Abby and Colt juggle blueprints for the home they hope to build together. At the same time, Georgia finds herself struggling with unexpected baby blues, adding one more emotional wrinkle to an already busy season.

And just when Abby thinks life might slow down, Colt and Mackey prepare to ask her a question she won’t be able to refuse.

In Holiday Bay, life, love, and murder have a way of arriving all at once. Cozy, twisty, and filled with heart, this post-Christmas mystery proves that while the holidays may end, the surprises never do.

Excellent writing!!! Not the best audio.

I absolutely love this series from Kathi Daley. This book is no exception. It is well written with a great plot and characters that evoke emotion. Plus a bit of mystery.

I have read all of the books in this series using Kindle. I decided to try the Audible version this time. Unfortunately, I just don't like the narrator's voice acting for this series. I think her voice could be better suited for books where a teen or a young girl is the main character and maybe with a more humorous plot.

Definitely read the book using an e-book format or paperback!!!!!! But preview the Audible version before buying or using a credit.
