Tidewater Inn

By: Colleen Coble

Narrated by: Devon O'day

USA TODAY bestseller! In the first book in Colleen Coble's Hope Beach series, inheriting a beautiful old hotel on the Outer Banks was a dream come true for Libby . . . until her newfound siblings accuse her of stealing their birthright, her friend is kidnapped, and she's blamed for the crime. Perfect for fans of Terri Blackstock and Dani Pettrey.

Libby can't believe her luck when she learns she has inherited a beautiful old hotel on the Outer Banks. The inn cries out for her restorer's talent and love of history. She's delighted to learn of the family she never knew she had. And the handsome Coast Guard lieutenant she's met there on the island could definitely be the man of her dreams.

But Libby soon realizes that the only way she can afford the upkeep on the inn is to sell it to developers who are stalking the island. The father who willed her the inn died before she could meet him, and her newfound brother and sister are convinced she's there to steal what's rightfully theirs. Worst of all, her best friend and business partner has been kidnapped before her eyes, and Libby's under suspicion for the crime.

Libby's dream come true is becoming a nightmare. Her only option is to find her friend and prove her innocence or she'll lose everything on the shores of Hope Island.

The Hope Beach series includes Tidewater Inn, Rosemary Cottage, and Seagrass Pier, but each can be read as a standalone.

Tidewater Inn

Very exciting and easy to listen to
Well written and descriptive with detail and emotional involvement.

Great!

Feel good mystery with a bit of romance. Well spoken with good distinction between characters.

Great twist

The twist was great at the end. Keeps you guessing. The performance was ok. Came off a little whiny but got better as it went along

Mystery & Love - A killing combination!

When a hard working woman finds she has inherited her family home - a home & family she knew nothing about - she finds many secrets. Some of those secrets were worth killing to keep!

Narrator ruins the story

Good story, but the narrator make the lead female into a whiny mess. Her voices for the other characters is fine, but I wanted to faceplam every time the lead character’s voice came on. Also, there were time when the narrator rushed through sentences to a new scene, which made things a little confusing. There is a strong Christian theme, so if you don’t like that, this is not the book for you
