"Another satisfying summer read from the queen of the beach." â Kirkus
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Weekenders comes a delightful new audiobook about new love, old secrets, and the kind of friendship that transcends generations.
When ninety-nine-year-old heiress Josephine Bettendorf Warrick summons attorney Brooke Trappnell to her 20,000 acre barrier island home, Brooke is puzzled. Everybody in the South has heard about the eccentric millionaire mistress of Talisa, but Brooke has never actually met her. Josephineâs cryptic note says she wants to discuss an important legal matter, but why enlist Brooke and not the prestigious Atlanta law firm she has used for years? Brooke travels to Shellhaven and meets the cagey Josephine, whose home is a crumbling pink mansion at the edge of the turquoise sea.
Over the course of a few meetings, Josephine spins a tale of old friendships, dark secrets, betrayal, and a long-unsolved murder. She is hiring Brooke for two reasons: first, to protect her island from those who would despoil her land, and second, to help her make amends with the heirs of the women who were her closest friends, the girls of The High Tide Clubâso named because of their youthful skinny dipping escapadesâMillie, Ruth, and Varina. To fulfill a dying womanâs wishes, Brooke must find Josephineâs friendsâ descendants and bringing them together on Talisa for a reunion of women whoâve actually never met. But in doing so, Brooke unleashes the makings of a scandal that could make someone rich beyond their wildest dreamsâŚor cause them to be in the crosshairs of a murdererâŚ. The High Tide Club is Mary Kay Andrews at her Queen of the Beach Reads best: a story shrouded in mystery, Spanish moss, verandah cocktails, 1940s dinner dances, love lost, and possiblyâŚlove found.
