Tender Melody

Inn at Magnolia Harbor #4

by Elizabeth Penney

The quaint town of Magnolia Harbor, South Carolina, kicks off an eagerly anticipated music festival, featuring renowned performers from around the country. The owners of the Magnolia Harbor Inn -- sisters Grace Porter and Charlotte Wylde -- prepare to host the final concert of the event as they welcome their new guests.

Daria Hargreaves captivates audiences with her lovely singing voice. Young, beautiful, and at the peak of her talent, she appears to have it all. But Daria's life is not what it seems. She's trapped in a devastating situation, and she worries about her future. Will her stay at the inn give her the courage to confront her fears and make a fresh start?

Karen Roth arrives at the inn broken, weary, and alone. The dedicated humanitarian worker seeks rest and relaxation, but she also finds something she wasn't expecting -- a spark of romance. Now Karen must come to terms with her past and discover the strength to embark on a new beginning.

Grace and Charlotte face unexpected challenges as they put the finishing touches on the inn before the final concert. Despite the obstacles, they resolve to end the music festival on a high note.

The Magnolia Harbor Inn offers much more than lodging for its guests. Can the inn's healing touch help the women embrace the tender melody of their hearts?

I love all of the Annie's books that I've read so far. The Inn at Magnolia Harbor are very good, easy to read and appropriate for all ages. I loved this one as it involved music and mystery combined, and yet the intrigue it brought with it kept me interested till the very end. Always a great ending sometimes a bit surprising however.

Another excellent treasure trove of happenings at Magnolia Harbor Inn with the familiar characters and their new guests. Never knowing which twists and turns we will find ourselves in upon reading these books in this delightful series. I couldn’t put it down.
