My reading goal for 2020 is to read 15 books. That averages out to about 1 book every three weeks and I'm already hitting my goal. I finished my first book of 2020 a few days ago and it feels great to be one down. This is my third Mary Kay Andrews book since November. I fell in love with this author back in like 2008 when I really got into reading again as an adult. Her books are so fun, a touch of romance, and really easy beach reads. They are all set in the south usually and this book is no different. It's a story of unexpected friends and new family that has plenty of fun twists and turns. If you want to feel the heat of Summer then jump into this book or put it on your to read list for a beach vacation.
When ninety-nine-year-old heiress Josephine Bettendorf Warrick summons Brooke Trappnell to Talisa Island, her 20,000 acre remote barrier island home, Brooke is puzzled. Everybody in the South has heard about the eccentric millionaire mistress of Talisa, but Brooke has never met her. Josephine’s cryptic note says she wants to discuss an important legal matter with Brooke, who is an attorney, but Brooke knows that Mrs. Warrick has long been a client of a prestigious Atlanta law firm.
Over a few meetings, the ailing Josephine spins a tale of old friendships, secrets, betrayal and a long-unsolved murder. She tells Brooke she is hiring her for two reasons: to protect her island and legacy from those who would despoil her land, and secondly, to help her make amends with the heirs of the long dead women who were her closest friends, the girls of The High Tide Club—so named because of their youthful skinny dipping escapades—Millie, Ruth and Varina. When Josephine dies with her secrets intact, Brooke is charged with contacting Josephine’s friends’ descendants and bringing them together on Talisa for a reunion of women who’ve actually never met.
The High Tide Club is Mary Kay Andrews at her Queen of the Beach Reads best, a compelling and witty tale of romance thwarted, friendships renewed, justice delivered, and true love found.
