The Inn on Hanging Hill ~ Review

The Inn on Hanging Hill

The Beach House Mystery series #2

by Christy Barritt

Lindsey Waters is returning home - it's the one place in the world she never wanted to revisit. But life has taken the choice out of her hands. She needs to get the inn somewhat reasonable repair so that she can sell it. The trauma of a lost childhood incident has made an impression on her and someone seems determined to revisit the terror and fear upon her. Her only hope to stay ahead of the person terrorizing her is Ben Harris, the person who was there all those years ago. But could the secrets he seems to be hiding bring the danger closer?

But from the opening, we are left with questions and little clues as to where the answers could be found. I loved the suspicions the author wove throughout the present-day portion of the story. I love when there are unexpected plot twists that seemingly set a story on a different path.

This is the second book in The Beach House Mystery series of which I have only enjoyed this book. The story was easy to follow without the previous book having been read. I could totally see this book being made into a Hallmark Mystery movie. It has this same feel but is a clean read so no graphic descriptive surprises.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion ~ All thoughts expressed are my own.
