The Girl at the Last House Before the Sea

Heaven's Cove, Book 3

De: Liz Eeles

Narrado por: Francesca Waite

The girl stands on the clifftop, feeling the soft breeze lift her shining red hair and dry her tears. She can almost hear Ireland calling her home across the wild sea. But she can never go back. And in that moment, she swears no one will ever find out why.

Freya is desperate for escape from her messy breakup when she’s offered a job caring for elderly Kathleen in the seaside village of Heaven’s Cove. Kathleen’s once-red hair is now a brilliant white, but there’s always laughter in her Irish lilt - until the day Freya finds her weeping, her gaze fixed on Driftwood House, perched on the cliffs above the village. She refuses to say what’s wrong....

Kathleen’s son Ryan, quiet with striking emerald eyes, resents that a stranger is caring for his mother. But as Freya presses him for answers on a long walk across a windswept beach, Ryan finally admits that Kathleen breaks down in the same way, on the exact same day every year - never telling anyone what is causing her pain.

Finding a photo of Kathleen as a young girl standing outside Driftwood House years before she says she moved to the village, Freya is determined to find the source of Kathleen’s heartache. But as she gets closer to Ryan, and to the sad, forgotten history of the house, Freya is faced with an impossible decision....

Should she share this heartbreaking secret with Ryan and risk their chance of happiness together? And will facing the truth bring Kathleen peace in her final years - or will it tear them all apart?

An absolutely breathtaking and heartbreaking story about healing old sorrows and finding new joys. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Barbara O’Neal, and anyone longing to escape to the rugged Devon coast.

the storyline

the storyline, it was a very nice story I enjoyed listening to this very nice book

I enjoyed coming back to Heaven Cove

It was a good story with interesting characters. I like how each Heaven’s Cove story can stand alone all the while incorporating old friends. While some of the character’s thought processes and behavior seemed a little weak and unreasonable others seemed so true to human nature it made me wince with recognition.
Glad Audible introduced me to this author and series by including one with my membership.

Well written, intriguing, great story

This is my favorite of the heavens cove series so far. I enjoyed the story, the characters, and would definitely recommend! Narrated really well too.

Feel-good mystery

Vivid setting, likable characters, and some you love to hate. An enjoyable weekend read.

Juvenile writing. And not the good kind.

Repetitive, predictable, issues repeated over and over. Did the writer really think we’d forget that the heroine’s sister is a gossipy busybody, so she needed to state it over and over.

The best thing about the audiobook is the lovely accent of the reader.
