About the Book

In a secluded corner of Hope Beach, one woman must decipher a stranger’s memories... before they cost her everything.
Elin Summerall was one of the lucky ones. Not only did she get a heart transplant, but the donor was a perfect fit. A miraculously perfect fit.
But when Elin begins having violent flashbacks — and vivid dreams of being strangled — she realizes that she has been the recipient of more than just a new heart... Elin is remembering her donor’s murder.
Her strange affliction has attracted some unwanted attention: from the press, from the authorities... and from the killer himself. Now, living alone with her young daughter and aging mother, Elin is being stalked — by a man she’s only met in her nightmares.
The police are dubious of her story, but one off-duty FBI agent is eager to help her: Agent Marc Everton, the father of Elin’s daughter.
Of course, he doesn't know about that. Yet.
Now, in a remote cottage on Hope Island, Elin and Marc must probe the secrets buried in her borrowed heart. And there’s no time to waste. One man is desperate to silence her — before she remembers too much.
From the start, Colleen Coble’s Seagrass Pier intrigued me. I have heard mentions of donated organ and the unexplained lingering bits of personality – termed in the book as “cell memory” – but I have never before read a book in which a transplanted organ serves as the key to solving a murder mystery. What a novel idea. Combine that with Coble’s typical mixture of suspense and romance and the product is nothing less than a captivating read. I couldn’t put it down. While I admittedly guessed at the murderous culprit early in the novel, the twists and turns kept me questioning and doubting until the revealing and still surprising end.
Coble uses
the perspectives of multiple characters to convey her story – a technique I
have found, in some novels, to be a nuisance. However, in Seagrass Pier, the multiple points of view do not detract from the
plotline. Coble avoids excessive information dumping with each character,
providing only the necessary tidbits to keep moving forward. Elin and Marc and
their budding relationship still remain at the forefront of the narration, and
I quickly got to know and love each of them.
As the
third novel in Coble’s Hope Beach
series, Seagrass Pier also offers
glimpses of characters met in both Tidewater Inn and Rosemary Cottage. Of
course, this brought several smiles to my face over the course of the book – I
love when books overlap to peek at the lives of previously beloved characters. A
treat indeed. Yet, while reading the previous novels helps to enjoy these
nuggets, Seagrass Pier can be read and
enjoyed easily on its own, like the other Hope
Beach novels. So whether or not you have read Tidewater Inn and Rosemary
Cottage, I definitely recommend Seagrass
Pier – it’s a fun, thrilling read, especially perfect for a summer trip to
the beach.
