Review: The House on Dagger Point (Beach House Mystery #3) by Christy Barritt

About the Book
Each house has a history. Each person has a secret. Each turn of events leads to danger.

Some legacies are better left unclaimed . . .

Olivia Beaumont’s father left behind a legacy of destruction, and it’s up to her to restore her family’s reputation. She heads to Kiawah Island, South Carolina, to unravel the mysteries of her father’s secret life. But when she arrives, she discovers the house he left behind—The House on Dagger Point—holds secrets of its own.

After a tragedy upends firefighter Anderson Scott’s life, he escapes to Kiawah Island to do some soul searching. But he finds something unexpected on his island getaway. Not only is the house he rented already occupied by its new owner, but danger lurks around every corner.

Anderson isn’t the only unwelcome guest Olivia encounters. Threatening text messages, dead bodies, and ruthless criminals threaten to put an end to all she hopes to accomplish. When Olivia and Anderson find themselves in a fight for survival, they must work together to solve the mysteries living inside the walls of The House on Dagger Point—or risk becoming the next victims.

MY THOUGHTS

This was a really entertaining mystery. It didn't take long before I was completely hooked. There was a lot of intrigue and so many questions swirling around. What was really going on at the beach house? Who was threatening Olivia? What secrets had her father been keeping? How was it all connected?

This book definitely kept me on my toes. I didn't figure anything out before the big reveal. I love being surprised like that. Even though this is book three, it's a complete standalone with no connection to the previous books in the series.

FOUR STARS

    1. It's so hard to keep up with her books. She releases them so quickly. I guess that's a good problem to have though, lol! :)
