Claire’s visit to a luxury hotel in Maine awakens repressed memories, threatening all she holds dear.
In 1989, Claire Dellamare disappeared from her own fourth birthday party at the Hotel Tourmaline on the island of Folly Shoals, Maine. She showed up a year later at the same hotel, with a note pinned to her dress but no explanation. Nobody knows where Claire spent that year—and until now, Claire didn’t even know she had ever been missing.
But when Claire returns to the Hotel Tourmaline for a business meeting with her CEO father, disturbing memories begin to surface . . . despite her parents’ best efforts to keep them forgotten.
Luke Rocco lost his mother under equally mysterious circumstances—at the same time Claire disappeared. After a chance encounter reveals the unlikely link between them, Claire and Luke set out together to uncover the truth about what happened that fateful year.
With flashbacks swimming just beneath her consciousness and a murderer threatening her safety, Claire’s very life depends on unscrambling her past . . . even if her family refuses to acknowledge it. Someone—maybe everyone—is hiding something from Claire Dellamare, and it will cost her everything to drag the truth out into the light.

Summary
The Inn at Ocean's Edge by Colleen Coble is a thrilling read! There were so many twists and turns to the plot of this high energy mystery with a twist of romance that I couldn't begin to guess the outcome until near the very end. Her characters are people that I found intriguing; she has a way of mining the depths of their fictitious souls such that you the reader are totally invested in them. In addition, she utilizes characters that you love, like Claire Dellamare and Luke Rocco, but also
characters that you just can't quite figure out why you can't stand them or trust thembut in the end you understand. The coast of Maine is the setting of this romantic
mystery. Her descriptions of the coast and the sea make it almost possible to smell the salty air. So sorry to be vague regarding the actual story details, but I don't want to give away a single thing that would steal the joy of discovering how the plot unravels for yourself. Suffice it to say, this novel is an excellent
readone you are sure to not be able to put down until you've read the whole thing!!
Violent but not with graphic depiction
