#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts weaves together passion and obsession, humor and heart, in a novel of two people opening themselves up to the truth—and to each other.

For more than three hundred years, Bluff House has sat above Whiskey Beach, guarding its shore—and its secrets. But to Eli Landon, it’s home.

A Boston lawyer, Eli has weathered an intense year of public scrutiny and police investigations after being accused of—but never arrested for—the murder of his soon-to-be ex-wife.

He finds sanctuary at Bluff House, even though his beloved grandmother is in Boston recuperating from a nasty fall. Abra Walsh is always there, though. Whiskey Beach’s resident housekeeper, yoga instructor, jewelry maker and massage therapist, Abra is a woman of many talents—including helping Eli take control of his life and clear his name. But as they become entangled in each other, they find themselves caught in a net that stretches back for centuries—one that has ensnared a man intent on reaping the rewards of destroying Eli Landon once and for all.

Whiskey Beach. Have read this book once before but absolutely loved it so much that I read it again. Wonderful story line and ending.

Lilpeach29

very disappointing. I'm historically a Nora Roberts fan, but man, this was boring. Started off good but the entire middle of the book is so boring I could barely make myself keep reading. Same basic dialogue between basically the only two characters the entire time. Painfully slow. Everyone in the book is also rich so there is a lot of wealthy people dialogue/problems - what art work do we buy, whose going to buy my groceries this week.... ugh. Not recommended.

Whiskey Beach. Fabulous!! It was like I was right there in the book 📖

Whiskey beach. A good story with a predictable ending.

CMRosebaom

Whiskey. Beach. This was an extremely enjoyable book. Needless to say I liked it. I’m not sure what more one could ask for. It had romance and mystery, and even some even supposedly history, that bit about The ship wit treasure on it and which sunk if Whiskey Beach, also some about prohibition an smuggled in whiskey.

Julzweaver

Love it!. The mystery isn’t solved until the last pages of the last chapter. Completely engaging!

WBEACH

Whiskey Beach. I loved the characters was able to get into them right away. They are some of the most endearing of Nora's people ever. The story line stays with you through the whole book. Highly recommended. Pat Beard California

Whiskey Beach. I bought this on book bub. I like Nora Roberts & knew it would be good. It was mystery that kept you reading. The whodunit was a surprise.

Kalossalon

Whiskey beach. Easy, pleasant read

Malibu ChaCha

Whiskey Beach. The very best of Nora Roberts!!

Kris10lovesbooks

Whiskey Beach. This book moved slow for me in the beginning to the point where I completely lost interest about a quarter of the way through. However after a few months I came back to it and actually the book does pick up about halfway through a becomes a good read.

Pacmeg

Whiskey Beach. Slow and painful to read. I only finished it to find out who the killer was. A disappointment from nora roberts.

Cjlindboe

Who Wrote this?. Who wrote this book I think Nora Roberts hired a ghost writer because this was not her usual style because it was so boring it took all I had to finish reading. I skipped pages and pages of endless dribble.

Go to hell. 3rd try

Whiskey Beach. Some of last 20 pages were 1/2 blank. Refund?

DZLucy

Whiskey River. Loved this!! Just the right amount of suspense, passion and adventure.

Very Happy Apple Customer

Mind of the Perpetrator. I was reading along and enjoying the character development and mystery ... then it happened ... “first person” of the murderer. I DON’T WANT TO CRAWL INTO THE MIND OF A PERSON LIKE THAT!!! The book was no longer fun due to the odiferous thought pattern...

Willie riggs

Whiskey Beach. Great read! Loved the ending as much as the beginning. The whole book was fun, loving and charming.

Nana Alligator

Excellent read.. I really couldn’t put it down.

PushpushStable

Whiskey Beach. This book does not fail. One expects the best from Nora Roberts and she delivers once again. While just a smidgen slow for my taste during the beginning, it quickly builds to a tense and fast paced mystery with elements of romance. Prepare to be locked into this from cover to cover.

Cindy Demme

Whiskey Beach. Great read - Nora Roberts at her usual best. Made me want to go live at Whiskey Beach!

Whisky Beach. This is a great book, typical Nora Roberts. Kept you guessing as to who killed Eli's wife. Was hard to put down so don't start unless you have plenty of time

Cob11953

Whiskey beach. Couldn’t put this book down. Full of mystery love sex. I have read many of her books. This one should be a movie Please read it you won’t be sorry

ES the horror fan

This book is a treasure!. Whiskey Beach is not the first book I ever read by Nora Roberts, but it’s an enjoyable read! An innocent man suspected of murdering his wife, legendary buried treasure, and the shocking revelation that his grandmother’s “accident” may have been an attempt on her life. Stir in an exciting, realistic romance between two sweet, flawed protagonists and you have the perfect recipe for a fantastic novel of romantic suspense! Would you expect anything else from Nora Roberts?

Vancango

Whiskey Beach. They had a gasoline generator in the basement of the house. That's where I stopped reading.

Csdrbrg

Murder, Mystery, Romance - Great Story Telling. I love reading Nora Roberts' novels because it's like having a conversation with the characters. Her storytelling is descriptive and realistic. It's easy to get involved and absorbed into the plots and motives. This story grabs you from the beginning. Characters and depth are added along the way. You don't feel like you need a road map to track everyone. Great read! Can't wait to start another Nora novel!!

Kimmiebabies

Ms. Roberts is awesome. Nora Roberts can write no wrong. I have being reading her novels foe almost 20 years starting with Sanctuary and moving forward and back to read anything and everything she has written. Not once has she disappointed me. Whiskey Beach is no exception. Once again, a love story that touches the heart, makes you yearn for justice, and fall in love not only for Eli and Abra, but also Hester, Maureen, Mike, And Barbie. Thank you, Ms. Roberts for this wonderful novel.

Kas in ga

Treasure hunting intrigue with a murder twist. This is a great read, with plenty to chew on mentally. The plot twist at the end surprised me this time.

Jharp51

Whiskey Beach. A thriller. A book that keeps you turning pages and can't stop reading. I didn't want it to end. The perfect couple and a story that keeps you turning page after page when you know you have other things to do. One of Nora Roberts best.

Connie2019-2020

Whiskey Beach. Kept my interest up and throughout to the end. Easy, interesting reading.

BrookeMel

Whiskey Beach. It was a delight to read, intrigue, interesting characters and not too much on the sex scenes. It was about family, love and finding hope again

Keiki2008

Not a new book. If you have read Nora Roberts for awhile beware this was published in 1985. The book is entertaining but I thought it was a new book. Waste of my money

Getting Ready to Read a Third Time. I love this novel -- enough that I wanted to read it a third time while recovering from surgery, couldn't find my hardcover, and ended up buying the iBook. The setting is fantastic, the imagery inviting and the characters -- main and minor -- have remained some of my favorites of all Nora Roberts' wonderful creations.

Easy Saver!

Whiskey Beach. Intriguing page turner. Loved the suspense and wonderful Bluff House story. Awesome.

N.K.N.

Whiskey Beach. I did not care for this book as much as others by Nora Roberts. I paid a lot of money for an extended romance with a somewhat weak plot. The conversations and repartee are all sounding like Roarke and Eve. Lately NR's writing is become boring and interchangeable with her other books.

Rab Sandra Sho

Waste of Money!!. I'm a huge NR fan. Was looking forward to this book, but for the first time was disappointed to read her work. So many flaws. It was good in the first part, but then got anxious to get it finished with. Too predictable. Conversations were too repetitive. Characters failed to impress. Waste of 16$!! Not her best.

Mummerville

Whiskey Beach. Pure Nora Roberts! A feel good story...romance, mystery and a happy ending!

Whiskey beach. This book was a great read. Just the right amount if mystery and romance! I loved it.

Jcpenner

Suspenseful. It didn't feel like a 800++ page book. I enjoyed it cover to cover.

Ashdavis09

Not the typical NR book.... I love Nora and have read too many of her books to count, but this one just lacked something that her mystery/romance novels usually have. The main characters were alright. There weren't enough characters in the book to really keep you guessing on who done it. This is honestly one of her first books ever where I figured out the killer before she unveiled it, so that was disappointing. The most annoying part about this book, though, is easily the ridiculous treasure hunter theme with Esmeralda's Dowry. What a joke that was, and totally unbelievable cause for the entire plot. Oh well, guess I'll be waiting for the next one to come out!

34532@

Whiskey Beach. Good twist in the end. Enjoyed the characters very much.

Never Before Dissapointed

Whiskey Beach. I LOVE Nora Robert's books! I have read just about all of them now. I love the romanticism of her stories. How they real you in and don't let you go until there is no more left. The love the characters give and take from each other. This story was not like this at all. I was so disappointed with Whiskey Beach. It had potential, it just never got better. I kept waiting for that spark of life she gives her books, it never showed. Sorry, didn't do much for this reader. Waiting patiently for the next book.

Xidcrikit

Great read. I really liked this book. You could feel Eli's anguish in the beginning of having to live under a cloud of suspicion and the irritation with Arba and how she forced him to come out of the dark hole. A lot of twist & turns till the final scenes. And I especially like the last about the engagement ring.

MickeyMikado

Couldn't Pick Up!!'. I'm one of Nora Roberts best fans and always preorder her latest. This book is so long with a plot that grabbed me at first then lost me to the point where I was begging for the end!! It's not often that I read a book and have no interest how it ends just hoping painfully so that it does and soon. This one just refuses to die...so I put it and myself out of misery and just didn't finish it. Normally I soak up one of her novels in a few hours...days later dirty laundry is preferable to one more page of this drivel!

Aunt Bess

Whiskey Beach. Love Nora Roberts but I felt like someone else wrote this book for her. Not at all up to her standards!

Susie2010

Amazing!!. Could not put it down!! What a great story!!

Blro

Whiskey Beach. A great summer read. Predictable but worth the read. Enjoy.

Aisan pickle

Don't bother. So predictable. Characters were poorly developed. Overall annoying. Wish I could get my money and time back.

Lady Di58

Family legends & Pirate booty... You can't go wrong!. Nora Roberts is a legendary author. You can't pick up one of her novels without falling in love with the hero & making yourself the heroine. Whiskey Beach is true Roberts style from the monied old family to the pirate legend of booty washed ashore & star crossed lovers. I couldn't put it down!

Nan fevito

Great summer read!. From the beginning to the end, this novel will keep you guessing.

Nettie52

Good read..... I love a good love story and this was a good one.

BISHOPMSS

Whiskey Beach. Good read!!

Jennnakr

Wb. By far one of the best Nora Roberts books I have ever read. Loved the mystery, history and romance altogether in a perfect length novel.

Irritated Mom

Easy read- nothing complicated. I was looking for something simple and relaxing, not too violent, with a happy ending. This book was it. The characters are intelligent and funny. While the ending was predictable, I enjoyed seeing how it all came together. The ending was a little too neat and tidy and quick, but it was OK.

Alcapito

Whiskey Beach. Fantastic read.

LaurelAR16

Great story. I really enjoyed this novel. More complex plot with an interesting twist at the end.

Hjdolins

A great read. Out of the 15 books I've read this one makes the top three

Suzanne Smith

Whiskey Beach. Boring. Predictable. Not worth your time.

DimiWr

Not a bad read. Not a bad read. In the reality of life the character of Abra would be very annoying. I did find it fairly suspenseful. It was a simple plot and it reminded me of a Nancy Drew mystery.

AHarrelson2305

Love Nora Roberts. As with all the Nora Roberts' books I've read, I fell in love with Eli and Abra, the main characters. She creates characters you care about, you want to read about, you cry for. That's what a great romance is all about.

Granny Bev

Nora at her best!!!. One more Nora Roberts at her exquisite best!!! She's terrific at plot, so descriptive at word play and she's entertaining in her witty way. I've read every Nora Roberts and enjoyed each and every one. Write, write, write Nora Roberts! I love reading your work! Beverly

Squishtheyeti

Gorgeous world to slip into.. I thought this was a wonderful book. If you're looking for something you can escape in with humor, mystery, romance, suspense, a world you can just slip into, I definitely recommend this book. A fun read!

Miamine99

Whiskey Beach. A great read!!! Could not put it down!

Dtbuga

Whiskey Beach. I'm a huge NR fan which is the only reason I suffered through the end of this book. Almost agonizing the pace, the meaningless detail, if it had been a heart beat I would have had to get out the paddles a few times. So disappointed

L7733

Excellent read. Very good book

Texma1

Disappointing. Took forever to finish - plot really dragged. Couldn't stand either one of the main characters!

Treading71

Whiskey Beach. Great story, you had story line and great characters that made you feel like part of it all!

Sazzypuddin

Great reading. Keeps you thinking to the very end. I enjoyed this novel and didn't want to put it down

43cuban

Awsome. Wow, love story with some of the suspense, could not stop reading it until it was over... Very nicely done. I just love it.

Jaylojoz

Love Nora. Whiskey Beach was as always a great book! I love the characters and can relate to Abra in so many ways. Couldn't put it down and sad that I finished it already. Looking forward to another one of Nor Roberts books.

Chirp!

The whole package, gift wrapped. Interesting people with difficult pasts trying to map out a future, a who-dunnit wrapped with shiny romance and humor, but done up with a twist or two.

Tonitedesco

Excellent reading- Nora does it again!!. Great plot, twists and turns, love, hope, strength ! Has it all!

Ashernm666

One of her best in a long time. I'm one of her fans that has read everything she's written, but for a long time I've only enjoyed her 'In Death' series. She's become so typical, formulaic, &--dare I?, cartoonish even! Her heroes & heroines are caricatures, of the modern variety, but nonetheless caricatures of romance novels. Here you have a really good story with a good balance of grit & emotion. Nothing was too predictable & Abra, while still strong, managed to be an actual unique heroine who'd been thru the horrorible & came out really balanced. The only problem was there were still a number of questions about the investigation that I felt were left unresolved. For example, Wolfe! Why dig his teeth into a suspect that clearly didn't do the crime? While Roberts did a good job of reminding the audience a good circumstantial case was made, it NEVER made sense that a criminal defense attorney would be that dumb, or that the timing could be that close. The obvious answer was always the lover & wife, & a good investigator, which Roberts kept reminding us Wolfe was, would've looked in that direction. I'd like to know if he had some kind of socio-economic problem with Landon, something in his past, what?! And why wasn't he properly sanctioned. The ending there was horribly unsatisfying. BUT, slightly reminiscent of what the media has done to recent criminal cases (hmm-umm, FL anyone?), & I wish if Roberts was sneaking that in she'd have fleshed it out a bit more. Anyway, she finally wrote a story that wasn't obvious & I hope she sticks with this genre as her strict romance (trilogies, especially) are in repeat.

Kunen

Entertaining!. Good read, entertaining, perfect spice with a bit of romance, mystery and intense!!

Sandra Elizabeth Nielsen

Ho Humm. Characters were not well developed. Storyline was boring. Couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Bab180

Whiskey Beach. I love Nora Roberts books. I especially like Whiskey Beach. Once I got started, I couldn't put it down. The romance, the suspense, the twists and turns all made this 500+ book a fast read.

SSScubed

Another great read!. Loved Whiskey Beach...drama, romance, suspense all rolled into one!

Kwells7726

Bluff House. Great book! I've never read a bad book by Nora Roberts.

Eearlyswim

Guessing all the way through.. Enjoyed the book and the mysterious changes that kept happening. Some of it was a little predictable but that was fun reading also. A few sex scenes got rather dragged out and a little descriptive for my taste. If not for that, I would have given this one a five.

YN2Chris

WOW. She's done it again! Whiskey Beach is wonderful. I found myself involved with Eli and Abra from the beginning. Great ending. I never guessed who killed Eli's wife. I was honestly surprised. Ms. Roberts has such a great talent for describing her location and characters. I want to travel to New England to visit Whiskey Beach. Kudos to Nora Roberts for sharing her fabulous stories with us.

Tony tiger6074

Whiskey Beach. The book started a little slow but had me at the second chapter until the end. The characterizations were well built and the legend within the story was an interesting twist. A good read.

Drogismom

Not her best. I love Nora Roberts and was excited to see a new book out, but this is far from her usual excellence. The plot was shallow and somewhat transparent as were the characters and there was way too much time spent revisiting the same conversations about the same feelings over and over and over. Abracadabra for a name?

Glee79

Whiskey Beach. I have always enjoyed the light reading of Nora Roberts romantic tales. This book however showed her writing talents like no other I have read. The characters have more depth and the plot was as strong and well developed . The mystery and history of her location in this novel is beautifully orchestrated . I deeply appreciate the connection she brings between her characters and their scenery. Well done!

Bludtizfan

Whiskey Beach. Only second book by Roberts that I've read, but I will be reading more. Someone gave me an old copy of Carolina Moon and I was hooked. Now looking forward to reading more, both old and new, from this wonderful author.

Tizzymax

Must read. I read the other reviews and almost didn't buy this book. Oh what a mistake that would have been. This is probably one of the best Nora Roberts has written since the "Circle Trilogy". This book is a big story, with ups and downs, romance and drama. Read it. Savor every page. Enjoy Nora Roberts at her best.

Sloopydeb

Hard to put down!. Really good book...very interesting story.

Dapecoaro

Whiskey Beach. Loved this book.
