HIGH TIDE CLUB (Mary Kay Andrews)

I enjoyed this novel immensely, as I always do Mary Kay Andrews books.  This one combines almost every element a reader could want: mystery and intrigue, murder, love, enduring friendship, family history, and more.  Since I am behind in my reviews, I won't waste our time going over the details.  The summary below, from Amazon, says it all.  What I will say is just, "Read it!"

From Amazon.com:

Eccentric heiress Josephine Warrick is a notorious recluse - reigning over a crumbling pink mansion on a private island, she is rarely seen but often whispered about. So when Brooke Trappnell, a struggling young lawyer, is summoned to the island, she has no idea what's in store. As she listens to Josephine recount a story of old friendship, dark secrets, and a mysterious murder, it becomes clear that Brooke is there for two reasons: to help protect Josephine's beloved island, and to make amends with her old friends, the skinny-dipping, secret-keeping girls of the The High Tide Club.

To fulfill a dying woman's last wish, Brooke must track down the descendants of Josephine's closest friends and bring them together for a reunion of women who've never actually met. But in doing so, Brooke uncovers 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 very best - a compelling story steeped in mystery, fierce friendship, love lost and possibly...love found.
