Description
“The queen of beach reads” (New York Magazine) and #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers an immensely satisfying page-turner in this tale about a summer of scandal at a storied Nantucket hotel.
Fresh off a bad breakup with a longtime boyfriend, Nantucket sweetheart Lizbet Keaton is desperately seeking a second act. When she’s named the new general manager of the Hotel Nantucket, a once Gilded Age gem turned abandoned eyesore, she hopes that her local expertise and charismatic staff can win the favor of their new London billionaire owner, Xavier Darling, as well as that of Shelly Carpenter, the wildly popular Instagram tastemaker who can help put them back on the map. And while the Hotel Nantucket appears to be a blissful paradise, complete with a celebrity chef-run restaurant and an idyllic wellness center, there’s a lot of drama behind closed doors. The staff (and guests) have complicated pasts, and the hotel can’t seem to overcome the bad reputation it earned in 1922 when a tragic fire killed nineteen-year-old chambermaid Grace Hadley. With Grace gleefully haunting the halls, a staff harboring all kinds of secrets, and Lizbet’s own romantic uncertainty, is the Hotel Nantucket destined for success or doom?
Filled with the emotional depth and multiple points of view that characterize Hilderbrand’s novels (The Blue Bistro, Golden Girl) as well as an added dash of Roaring Twenties history, The Hotel Nantucket offers something for everyone in this compelling summer drama.
Reviews
Perfect Beach Read
5By M LindenbergerA light and airy book filled with twists and turns that reel you in! An easy read that makes you feel one with the hotel staff, visitors, and the ghost, of course. This book has ignited my fire to read again!No Thank You
1By Hopenow91Not a fan of homosexuality forced to read when really just looking for a good story.Great characters!
5By Cheated by StephI truly enjoyed reading The Hotel Nantucket- and I especially love how EH pulled in characters from her other books I’ve read over the years. That was a special gift. I was wary about the idea of Grace, but she turned out to be a lovely addition to a colorful cast. I did question (my own character, I suppose) when the criminal behavior of 2 characters were so easily accepted by everyone.Trite and shallow.
