The Inn on Hanging Hill by Christy Barrett (The Beach House Mystery Series Book 2)

About the Book

Book: The Inn on Hanging Hill

Author: Christy Barritt

Genre: Romantic Mystery

Release date: October, 2021

Each house has a history. Each person has a secret. Each turn of events leads to danger.

Lindsey Waters never wanted to return to the seaside inn where she grew up. Too many traumatic memories haunt the place, both from her childhood and from days gone by. But with guilt relentlessly chasing her after a tragic choice, she’s desperate for a fresh start.

Mysterious incidents begin plaguing the inn—dangerous incidents—that make it clear someone wants to scare Lindsey away. But why? Does it have anything to do with the two weeks missing from her memory when she was abducted at age twelve?

Childhood friend Benjamin Newsom seems like an answer to prayer when he shows up to work as a handyman. But something is different about him, something Lindsey can’t put her finger on. She’s certain Benjamin harbors secrets.

As peril continues to close in, Lindsey must decide if she wants to face her past or run. She doesn’t know whom she can trust, and whatever choices she makes will determine if she lives or if she becomes part of the inn’s tragic legacy.

My Review:

Lindsay is back "home". Back to where she can't remember what happened fifteen years ago, but it's soon clear, other people remember. While trying to fix up the Inn, she's in danger. Lindsay is getting threats, but why? Then there's Benjamin, working endlessly to help her restore this place, but something is still off. What does he know? It sure looks like everyone in this tiny town has one or more secrets. 

I LOVED this dark and mysterious, action filled, clean read with plenty of suspense and mystery. It is lighter on faith, but it's there, and it's a good book to help getting people into Christian fiction without overwhelming them. It was just the right read for me right now. I liked the author's writing style as well.

More from Christy

I’ve always loved old houses—ones you can look at and see that they were once full of life and love. But, through the years something happened, and these places now stand in neglect. Based off that idea, I developed the Beach House Mystery Series. Each book is a standalone—the series is connected only by theme—and features a different beach house on a different beach.

 

The Inn on Hanging Hill was inspired by my time on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. The area was once thriving and one of the wealthiest in the country. But the railroad changed, and that left the area isolated and without enough work to support the population. It also left it with tons of history—and stories that go along with that history.

 

I hope you enjoy Lindsey’s story!
