Mystery and suspense

Blackberry Beach

by Irene Hannon

Book 7 of the Hope Harbor series

352 pages · First published 2021

Katherine Parker arrives in Hope Harbor seeking anonymity and a respite from a high-pressure life, renting a secluded cottage where she hopes no one will ask questions. Coffee-shop owner Zach Garrett has retreated to the Oregon coast for reasons of his own and recognizes another person trying to hide from the future. The town’s persistent community connections make isolation difficult as both become involved in helping someone else whose problems require practical compassion. Irene Hannon’s seventh Hope Harbor novel combines coastal atmosphere, faith, romance, and second chances around two guarded people discovering that retreat can become a beginning rather than an escape.
