The Lightkeeper's Daughter

A Mercy Falls Novel, Book 1

De: Colleen Coble

Narrado por: Devon O'day

With the lies of the past behind her, Addie finds love...and discovers her true Father.

Addie Sullivan leads a quiet life in a northern California lighthouse. She mourns the death of her father and endures her mother's bitterness, until the night a storm brings an injured stranger and a dark secret to her home. The man insists she is not who she thinks she is, but rather "Julia Eaton" - the child long lost and feared dead by her wealthy family. Seizing the chance to be reunited with the Eatons, Addie leaves her lighthouse home but decides to keep her true identity a secret until they can unravel the mystery.

Addie loves the Eatons' palatial home tucked away among the California redwood forests. She feels secure with the jovial family, adores the young boy who is her charge as governess, and finds romance with his father John, a young widower. But sinister shadows overtake Addie's joy. As dusty rooms and secret compartments give up their clues about her past, Addie finds a faith and a love she could never have guessed. To embrace this new world of promise is to risk her life; but to run away is to risk losing the greatest love she's ever known.

Great mystery.

This is so well written. I didn’t figure it out early which is saying something . It was gripping.

Keeps you so intriqued!!

This book was phenomenal! Kept you constantly on your toes, waiting to see what could happen next!!

Fun to listen to!!

What a great story with so many twists and turns!!
I’m looking forward to the next one in the series

Would have been great with a different narrator

I couldn’t make it past chapter 4. Narration can ruin a story for me which it did in this case. The voices she used for the characters sounded so unnatural and irritating. Especially the voice of Addie, the protagonist. She sounded like a bewildered child instead of an educated young woman. The story itself was good enough that I will consider buying a print version of the book.

Loved it!

I love mysteries. Trying to figure out who did it and why. This story had me guessing all the way to the end. I’m so glad she found her mother, because her father was no good. And Lord Carrington, the character you to gate until the truth was revealed. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Thank you

Interesting story

Enviable listen. All the characters are well written and complex. The historical background gave the storyline depth.

Great book!

I loved the history of the light house and the way she waves God into every book. I love her books!!!

A page turner

There were no slow moments in this novel. I couldn't put it down. I loved the intensity & mystery of the story. I enjoyed how Edward & the dog were part of the story. The characters were well developed & fun & the plot twist was amazing.

Worth the Time and Money

Colleen did a great job writing this book. It kept my interest, and I consider it worth buying. I will probably buy the other two books in this series because of it.

Unwavering faith despite the turmoil

I loved how the main character learned the lesson that it is never better to conform to to those around you and their expectations. It’s always better to be the person God has created you to be.
The mystery kept you guessing with a surprise twist at the end.
