    About this audiobook

    "Another satisfying summer read from the queen of the beach." — 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. Josephine’s 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 Club—so named because of their youthful skinny dipping escapades—Millie, Ruth, and Varina. To fulfill a dying woman’s wishes, Brooke must find Josephine’s friends’ descendants and bringing them together on Talisa for a reunion of women who’ve actually never met. But in doing so, Brooke unleashes the makings of a scandal that could make someone rich beyond their wildest dreams…or cause them to be in the crosshairs of a murderer….

    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 possibly…love found.

    Praise for The Weekenders:

    “This book has all the makings of a beach read...The perfect blend of drama, humor, intrigue, and just a touch of murder.” —Bustle

    “Andrews has this ‘perfect beach read’ label down pat—and then some. The Weekenders is not just good, it is beyond good… Summer doesn’t truly begin without a Mary Kay Andrews book in your beach bag,so here is another winner and Top Pick just for you.” —RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)

    “Andrews’ novels...are the epitome of relaxing yet involving summer reads, and her latest is no exception.” —Booklist

    • 3/5
      Very long and drawn out in many chapters. Wayyyyyy too much unnecessary descriptions of events. I skipped several times just to get on with the story. I enjoyed the book but it could have easily been told in a much shorter version.
    • 4/5
      Awesome!!
      A great story, with a good plot.
      Want to listen to another one by this author.
    • 3/5
      Maybe trying too hard— to make a beach read into a tad bit of a literary fiction novel. Too many aspects of the story were too unbelievable (in modern times) that it interferes with enjoyment. Is it really such a stigma to Be an “unwed mother”? Who even uses that term anymore, especially in respect to a 30-something professional woman. Who has “secret babies”– not telling the father for seemingly no real reason. Someone is going to automatically fall in love with you because you’re going to take care of them? Everyone manages to keep their deep secrets? Everyone? For years and years? All this being said, it’s an easy read and there are some insights to take away should you care to look for them. Honestly, I’d give it. 2.5
    • 5/5
      A very intriguing story that I didn’t want to end. Great characters , drama and suspense.
    • 5/5
      What a great read! I didn’t want the story to end. I want to know more about their life now.
