Story4.5 out of 5 stars 689
It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

She spends her life moving from one job to the next, sometimes crashing at a friend's Manhattan apartment.

Tory Bodeen grew up in a run-down house where her father ruled with an iron fist and a leather belt - and where her dreams and talents had no room to flourish. Her one escape was her neighbor Hope, who lived in the big house just a short skip away, and whose friendship allowed Tory to be something she wasn’t allowed to be at home: a child. Then Hope was brutally murdered, and everything fell apart.

A bit disappointing for a Nora Roberts
Possibly the narrator ruined this story for me - I didn’t enjoy his voice, it was whiny and his attempt at female voices was pretty awful. The story in itself wasn’t Nora’s best. I normally like her heroines, but Abra struck me as a pushy know-it-all.
If I could have returned this book, I would have, but for some reason it didn’t qualify as a return. A disappointing waste of a credit.

Pay no attention to criticism about narrator's female voices. It just took some time for him to get into the groove, then his performance really shone. And, of course, what can you say about NA - she always over delivers!

Enjoyable enough
I liked the overall storyline and the plot twists.
The narrator did pretty well however,
He cannot do female voices well… many of the women sounded the same. Maybe it was the fault of the accents involved but it was a little cringey at time.
For the story itself, I found that Eli was often childish at the beginning. I learned to like his character more as the story progressed.
I’m a huge fan of Nora roberts, so overall, I enjoyed the book.

What a wonderful story! At first the narrator’s female voices bothered me but I kept listening. Soon enough he got the hang of it or I just got used to him. I couldn’t stop listening, I was hooked. Thank you for this captivating story.

I really enjoyed the story. Nice light mystery with relatable characters. The reader was a bit off on women’s voices so it took me time to look past that. I do recommend this book

Not So Good
This was not an enjoyable experience for me. I don't normally complain about a book being too long but this one sags and drags. I did not bond with the characters or the improbable plot. There was no suspense for me. Very repetitive and farfetched. The narration was okay, it was the story that disappointed.

One big yawn
The storyline in Whiskey Beach would have fit perfectly into a short story format. It was frustrating to stop knitting and fast forward through the tedious parts, of which there were many. I listen to Nora Roberts when I'm in need of some light entertainment. This was a tedious slog through nothingness. No more Nora Roberts for me.
In my view, the narration was fine. It's hard to do much with a dull storyline.

Nearly same plot as Angel Falls
What would have made Whiskey Beach better?
If all her plots were more researched. Feels like she is getting lazy as she's using nearly exactly the same formula and recycling plot lines of many of her books. I really used to like her, but please, oh please... never use the quote "Dumb as a box of hair" again. She has used this eloquent quote in several books now. There are many more insulting comments she could use, trust me, I'm a teacher.
What was most disappointing about Nora Roberts’s story?
Feels like she is recycling plot lines. Its all sounding the same. Literally, all female characters have a difficult past, overcoming a current insecurity, happen to be thin and beautiful, horribly opinionated and quite stupid. The guys all happen to be good, stand up men who are going through personal crisis and usually both charachters 'take the law into theie own hands' as they forgo common sense and 'risk it all' for love. All that changes is charachter name, career, a few personal details and location. Otherwise, its a fill in the blank template.
What aspect of Luke Daniels’s performance would you have changed?
He's not so bad, but a woman for a womans voice would be nice. But its just obvious hes trying his best, but, even he sounded bored in some parts of the script.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Whiskey Beach?
I would eliminate innane comments, which make up half the book. They are stumbling blocks over the stoeyline and what makes the story sound repetitive. I like the old man at the bar, it was a nice character who had just enough 'screen time' to make a scene interesting, provide key information, gave meat to the story, and mentioned in passing before disappearing. The rest of charachters are waaaay to chatty and overthink a situation.
Any additional comments?
Nora does have a way with words, she can make a descriptive scene but bogged down by her past plot lines. Can you get a woman who is in her forties, a little soft, tired and has a intersting backstory but is revitalized by love, personal transformation, not trying to solve a puzzle but gets swept up in getting involved with life, finds new goal, happiness in achieving and finding the guy? Her target audience is getting older, and kinda tired of reading about mid twenties love stories. Life gets more complicated and interesting after forty anyways.

Same stuff, different day
Her books are becoming rewrites of previous books. I remember other books with lost treasures to only be found by love. The ideas in the book are copies of other books. Change the characters and a few other things. The narrator was boring as well. I used to love Nora Roberts books, and JD Robb, but she has dried up and it's not cutting it for me anymore. I will wait for reviews on future work before purchasing it, hate to waste my money.

Excellent
I absolutely love it. I read the reviews and was really worried about getting it but I am so glad I got it. This is a great story. I love the characters (Abra is just AMAZING). I ADORE Luke Daniels. He makes books really come to life!!!

Not all that well written.
What disappointed you about Whiskey Beach?
Basically it's unbelievable. Roberts must have had a great massage and thought describing it was enough. Characters not interesting.
Has Whiskey Beach turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Have you listened to any of Peter Berkrot’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but narration was Ok . You can't do much with a boring book
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment

Loved the book
I really enjoyed this book. Some might think it is typical Roberts & I guess it is but it is good nevertheless. Berkot did a great job narrating too. I would listen to him again & I definitely will read/listen to Nora again.

Enjoyable
I won't disagree that this is not Nora Roberts' best but I always enjoy characters that overcome their circumstances. Narrator was not my favorite but not detracting either.

Whiskey Beach
Fantastic story line! I recommend this story to any that reads Nora Roberts stories. The descriptions make it so the reader/listener feels like you can visualize the story.
