The House at Saltwater Point

Book description: "The dangerous beauty of Lavender Tides is harboring secrets that reach around the world.
Ellie Blackmore is making a name for herself as a house flipper. But when her sister Mackenzie disappears, Ellie can’t focus on anything but uncovering what happened. Her only clue is the bloodstain on the deck of Mackenzie’s boat. Ellie knows her sister isn’t on the best of terms with her ex-husband, Jason, but he wouldn’t kill her—would he?
Coast Guard intelligence officer Grayson Bradshaw believes Mackenzie faked her own death after stealing a seized cocaine shipment. The problem is convincing Ellie, who seems to view him as the true enemy.
Both Ellie and Grayson want truth, but truth—and family—is often more complex than it first appears. From international terrorism to the peaceful lavender fields of Puget Sound, The House at Saltwater Point is a thrilling race to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
My review: As is typical with books by Colleen Coble, I was pulled immediately into the story! A plot that builds and has you turning pages quickly is one definition of a great book. This is one of those books. The characters have their own stories while the plot of the book continues to build. The characters and their lives were real. I loved  that about this book.  I was unable to figure out the mystery and the climax was better than I could have guessed. Colleen Coble is an amazing author, and I always look forward to reading her books. I think all of her books are my favorite and this one is no exception! I received a copy of this book from the publishers. This review is my own opinion.
