The Summer Guests

A Thriller (The Martini Club, Book 2)

De: Tess Gerritsen

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

From New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen comes a chilling follow-up to The Spy Coast, plunging the Martini Club into the search for a missing teen—with a startling connection to their own pasts.

When former spy Maggie Bird retired to the seaside hamlet of Purity, Maine, she settled in for a quiet life with breathtaking views. But enemies from her past soon threatened to destroy everything.

Maggie survived, thanks to her wits and the collective intelligence of the Martini Club, the circle of ex-CIA friends in her cocktail-sipping book club. Their handiwork, however, caught the attention of young police chief Jo Thibodeau. Now Jo and her neighborhood ex-spies have an uneasy alliance.

After a teenager vanishes—and Maggie’s neighbor becomes the prime suspect—she joins the investigation, determined to prove her friend’s innocence. But the girl’s wealthy family pushes for an arrest. And when authorities discover a long-dead corpse in a nearby pond, the case becomes doubly complicated, with unthinkable ties to long-buried secrets.

As Jo grapples with two unexplained mysteries, the Martini Club races to uncover the truth behind shadowy secrets…before more lives are lost.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Is this audiobook delivered by a full cast? No, just the immensely talented Hillary Huber. In this second installment of The Martini Club series, Huber crafts distinct voices for each male and female character, immersing listeners in the search for a missing teenage girl in the club's hometown of Purity, Maine.… Huber masterfully portrays the main characters, the teenagers, and a very proper family matriarch, bringing them to life with nuance and well-defined personalities. The result is an engrossing, expertly narrated audiobook that keeps listeners thoroughly entertained.”—AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner

“Secrets and plot twists abound…A complex mix of fright and fun.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“As in the first book, Gerritsen paints Maggie and her crew with a fine brush, and strikes a satisfying tone that’s neither too dour nor too twee. These sexagenarian spies are hitting their stride.”—Publishers Weekly

Love the characters

Maggie and crew help out a reluctant policewoman - Jo - unravel years worth of secrets - can’t wait for the next one - love this series

Great Plot Twists

I really enjoyed this. I love all the characters in Purity, Maine! Jo and the Martini Club are a fabulous mix of characters. Kudos to the narrator.

A great listening

I am getting used to the characters. After reading book one I enjoyed this one too. The plot is original, not expected in this little town.

A big mystery ended up less deep and dark.

We needed to meet the "central character", Zoe, more. Her basic energy permeated the story, without being present.

Clever,creative,engaging and entertaining.

Loved it so much I completed it in one day! I especially love the entwined espionage aspects and the twisted ending.

Great mystery!

I like the characters in this book. Is was interesting and involved me in the story. Can’t wait for the next book.

More please!

Great characters and story lines…. Hope she continues with the series- also good narrator - hope we don’t have to wait long!

More spies

This is an excellent listen. I forgot how funny the martini club could be. A great cast of characters overall. I was surprised a little by the villain. The narration from Hilary Huber was spectacular. She changed voices easily from character to character. Her tone and accents were perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I highly recommend listening to this exciting audiobook.
