Book Summary:
When Ellie Golden meets Harry Dixon
there’s something familiar about him. He reminds her of someone she used to
know. There’s just one problem; he’s dead.
Right from the beginning The Girl on
the Beach is full of mystery and intrigue. We follow Ellie and Harry from their
first meeting, as Ellie tries to figure out why Harry seems so familiar, and
Harry wonders why a woman he’s never met seems to know him.
Review:
Morton’s easy to read writing style
kept me turning the page eager to find out more about who Harry was and how the
gentle and sweet Ellie could have been part of the dark and troubled world that
he was fleeing.
Morton has a knack for creating
multi-layered characters, not just for the two main characters but for the
friends and family that surround them. Ellie’s son, Tom, is a typical moody
teenager, but at the same time he’s trying to cope with the memories of what he
witnessed as a child. Nicholas is the tough misfit, yet Morton cleverly gives
us a glimpse in to his harsh life and enables him to grow with Ellie’s
encouragement.
I loved the contrast between the
beautiful idyllic seaside town that Morton created, and the suspense and
intrigue of her storyline as Ellie and Harry’s shared past catches up with
them.
Congratulations on your fantastic
debut novel, Morton. I can’t wait to read your next!
