The Sunrise Coast #8
The Beach House
Briony has always known there was someone missing from her life…Briony thinks she has her future all mapped out until something unexpected throws her life off course. A letter arrives from her grandmother, Blythe, whom she has never met, inviting her to The Beach House on the Suffolk Coast. The letter comes with a warning – she must keep her trip a secret.
Briony still has her mother’s old shell box that she found as a child. Inside is a key. Her mother once said it was the key to her heart. She would say no more about it. Briony is about to discover it is the key to a house which has been in her family for generations.
When she arrives the mystery deepens as Blythe is nowhere to be found. Briony meets her grandmother’s friends in Cobblers Yard, and they rally round, joining her in her search to uncover the truth behind her grandmother’s disappearance.
Will Briony reveal her family’s secretive past at The Beach House, or is the truth destined to remain lost, as elusive as the tide that ebbs and flows on the Suffolk shore?
Book 8 in The Sunrise Coast Series.

I really enjoy this series by Elise Darcy, romance and intrigue set in Suffolk on the Sunrise Coast, and centred around a small shopping alley, Cobblers Yard.
In this book, Briony is about to leave for an expedition, but she overhears a conversation that makes her think twice. She also has some unexpected news that she needs to think about, so she makes a decision to find out more about her family.
She decides to go and visit her grandmother, who she has never met, but when she arrives, she's not there! Not to be thwarted, she decides to wait.
What is different about this book in the series is that it isn't the whole story, it's left on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I hope the next book tells the rest of Briony and Blythe's story.
All the other books are standalone stories, but the books are best read in order of publication to preserve continuity of the characters and wider storyline.
I can't wait for the next book to be released!

I was disappointed that the story builds through the book but there is absolutely no outcome. Nothing really happens except character building ready for subsequent books. I read lots of series of books so it is not that I'm unfamiliar with the genre but I feel there needs to be a story in each book. There isn't a story in this book. I feel its a teaser to the next book which I won't read in case that's a teaser to the next
