A very tightly interwoven story of misguided love, trauma, family, loss, and gain. Ms Clark tells a spellbinding tale, and the latest installment of the Temple River series proves it in spades. Mystery, tragedy, laughter, growth - it's all wrapped up in a sweet (imaginary) Australian town that makes one want to visit. I lost myself in the story and managed to read it in a day (didn't get much else accomplished...). Lovely story!

I received an ARC; this is my honest review.

For fans of Kate Morton, this book is for you. Set In Australia, two sisters are reunited to settle the affairs of their father's house. Years before, a tragic car accident had sent their father to jail. While sorting thru the house and their father's papers, they discover long lost secrets that could shed light on that tragic night . A great read, I Iook forward to reading other books in this series.

Set in Australia, this book is full of intrigue and secrets. Ivy swore she’d never go back, but when she finds she now owns a third share of Fairviee, she knows she must go back and face everything but also to try to make up with Jody, her sister. If she should come across Leo, the love she left behind, she has it all in her mind what she’d say, until she doesn’t.

An atmospheric read, you can almost feel the cold sea water, the sand under your feet and see the ocean views. There’s a really nicely paced story here, with enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested, good characters that you want to know more about, and romance in abundance. I liked the way Ivy kept getting flashbacks to the night when everything changed. The letters to her father were nicely packed with bits of the story and details of the writer. Recommended

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This story is so much more than I expected. Fairview House is situated on the beach in a glorious part of Australia. I can picture the house in my mind, feel the sun on my face and the sand between my toes, bliss. Ivy left years before to go back to her mum in England, leaving her father, sister Jody and Leo, the love of her life behind and swore she'd never return after an incident one night that changed everything. Reluctantly she had to return to Fairview and meet her sister to finalise some family business. This is when the story really begins. Secrets and lies, twists and turns, it has it all. Outstanding book.

Loved this book. Kept me guessing until the very end. So many suspects but the outcome was great. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Get comfortable, and grab the Kleenex. This book gets you right in the feels. Phillipa Nefri Clark has done a beautiful job with The House at Angel's Beach.

I didn’t realise this book was part of a series until after I’d finished it but it doesn’t matter at all if you’ve not read the previous stories. It was perfect as a stand alone book.
I found the story really intriguing. The quest to uncover some of the past and reveal hidden memories. The characters were interesting and felt real. The pacing was good and kept me engaged throughout. The ending was nice and satisfying.

This is an interesting story. Had my suspicions early on but there was a lot more to the tale. Love, lies, memories, and more will keep one intrigued. No need to have read either of the previous ones in this series. The location seemed to me to be the only connection. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

When Ivy Ross left her home at Rivers End, she vowed never to return. Her life had been suddenly shattered when her beloved father was charged in a drunk driving accident resulting in the death of two people and subsequently put in jail. Ten years later, she was notified that she and her sister inherited part of her father's palatial home in Rivers End; after her sister Jody convinces her to come home to finalize their inheritance, she reluctantly returns. She wants to have matters settled as quickly as possible and return to her home in England.
When Ivy discovers some heartfelt love letters in her father’s library that reveal a heartbreaking relationship between her father and another woman, she begins to investigate the facts surrounding the night of her father’s car accident. Ivy's true love, Leo, whom she left behind ten years ago, suddenly shows up, and together, they work to uncover the truth of the accident. Suddenly, Ivy is now faced with two life changing problems. Was her father behind the wheel the night of the accident that killed two people, and how will the discovery she made because of her father’s shocking relationship with another woman affect their family history?

Thank you to NetGalley for my copy of The House at Angel’s Beach by Phillipa Nefri Clark.
Sisters Ivy and Jody haven’t seen each other since a falling out a few years ago, but now they are in the same house, one they’ve both inherited a share of.
When they discover a break in they have no way of knowing what the thief was looking for, but the answers must lie in the past. As they look into what happened before they were born they find they have more questions than answers. A good engaging read.

After 10 years, Ivy has returned to Rivers End. Her sister Jody has begged her to return from her nursing position in England. Both sisters have inherited a third interest in the majestic property, Fairview House. For ten years their father has been in prison for a crime that has not only affected the sisters but many others in the small community of Rivers End. Ivy fled back to England broken and disappointed and left behind her sister and also the man she loved.

Fairview House was once a thriving community of writers and artists and while the sisters join to decide the future of the property, Ivy discovers a collection of heartfelt letters hidden in their father's library. The contents of the anonymous letters cause Ivy to have flashbacks to the terrible night the accident tore her family apart and to question the mystery surrounding them. The sisters decide the time has come to uncover the truth and it may lead them to a secret within their family history.

This is the third book in the Temple River series. I have loved the previous two stories and this one does not disappoint. Thank you Phillipa Nefri Clark for an interesting family mystery and thank you NetGalley for an early reading of a book I have been waiting for.

This book was not what I was expecting. Although there is a beach, this is much more than a beach book. Two sisters have returned to their childhood home that has been empty for over ten years after their father was arrested. Coming home to decide what to do with the house and land opens old wounds that were never really closed. There is no doubt that the sisters, Ivy and Jody have problems, but it’s not until they find a packet of letters do they realize what they believed happened about their father may not have been true at all. There is a deep connection with the characters, the story moves at a good pace and the ending is quite satisfying, even if the intervening years that got them to this point were not.
Thank you Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the complimentary copy. These comments and review are my honest opinion.

Although this part of a series, it works well as a standalone book. Sisters, Ivy and Jody have come together to sort out their father’s house, which they have a third share in. Hanging over all this is a car accident that happened ten years ago which ended with their father being jailed. Lots of twists and turns later, as letters are found and memories are jolted, the true story of the accident emerges. The ripple effect of that night affected the sisters and other people as well. An intriguing story that held my attention. Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an advance copy to review.
