How do you escape your past?
In "The Beach House" your past is intentioned to be escaped, or at the very least addressed.
This book by Vicky Jones and Claire Hackney is the concluding part of this trilogy following Shona Jackson the protagonist of this three-part story arch.
It is nailbiting and keeps you on edge. The plot turns, twists, and bends with the characters' emotions and how they deal with each other's love.
The narration was good and brought a distinct character to the story.
Would recommend this concluding part of this story.

Read this if you can - the narrator ruins it.
The narrator, Barbara Henslee, really spoils this series of books, which in themselves are interesting, tell a good story and highlight important issues. However, many of the characters speak with Southern US accents, which Ms Henslee tries to copy but fails very badly. Some of the voices she gives the characters are really dreadful, cringe worthy or laughable and every now and then she gets in a muddle, giving the wrong voices to characters.
It is difficult to understand why the producer, author Vicky Jones, did not hire an actress with the ability to speak with a convincing Southern accent to narrate this series of books. Unfortunately Henslee's shortcomings often make it difficult to concentrate on the story, or take it seriously, because the the bizarre voices she uses are such a distraction.
