Title: The High Tide Club
Author: Mary Kay Andrews
Published: May 2018, St. Martin’s Press
Format: Hardcover, 480 pages
Summary:
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Weekenders comes a delightful new novel about new love, old secrets, and the kind of friendship that transcends generations.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.
