Suffering an intense year of public and police scrutiny after being wrongly implicated in his soon-to-be ex-wife's murder, Boston lawyer Eli Landon takes sanctuary in a centuries-old family home and falls in love with resident housekeeper Abra Walsh, with whom he is entangled in an old, life-threatening mystery.
I have not read one of Nora Roberts books in years and chose Whiskey Beach. It was very good and I look forward to reading another of her more recent novels soon. I will admit I was pretty sure 'who did it' early on but it was still very well written to where I wanted to keep reading to see what happened next. It has the perfect blend of suspense and romance.
I've read dozens of Nora Roberts books and this one is good but not one of her best. I thought it was too long with lots of unnecessary conversations that didn't contribute to the story. I did enjoy the overall story line, so if you have time to read one of her longer books you may enjoy it.
This book is okay, but not Nora's best. The hero Eli has too much angst, and the lady Abra is too New Agey and somewhat occult. Do not like her at all. Her name should be Abra-cadabra.
Originality is lacking. I can picture someone saying, "It was a dark and stormy night..."
A disappointing read. Skimmed the last third to look for plot. Nora should not have created a female character who is a bar maid, and reads tarot cards, as these types are the dregs of society.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. The plot -- a man suffering from the murder of his wife, and whom the court of public opinion has declared guilty who returns to his (of course) palatial family home on the beach -- could have been trite; add to it pirate treasure (!!), a freewheeling housekeeper/yoga instructor, a dog named Barbie... you get my drift. But WHISKEY BEACH is a fun, and touching read, rising above the cliches to give us a pretty good legal thriller, family history, and love story.

Really enjoyed this book. It was one of her better ones.
