Publisher's summary

Murder at Whalehead is the ultimate beach listen. On the northern Outer Banks looms an old hunting lodge known as the Whalehead Club. During the roaring twenties, Edward and Marie Knight entertained guests at this isolated Mansion by the Sea.

Now it has become one of North Carolina's most popular tourist attractions. Less than a quarter mile away, deep in the marsh along the Currituck Sound, lies the body of a young woman. Someone has killed and craves to kill again.

In his new novel, Murder at Whalehead, Joe C. Ellis tells the story of two Ohio families vacationing on the Outer Banks. They look forward to sun, sea, rest, and relaxation. Instead, they cross paths with a homicidal maniac.

Can they stop him before another innocent victim dies?

Bad narrator

I found it annoying that the narrator didn’t pronounce Corolla or Currituck correctly. The story itself was just kind of bland.

Murder at Whalehead

Very interesting... this story was entertaining . I listened to the audio book version and I liked it. The characters were unusual and likeable.

Likable characters, enjoyed storyline

Audible Listener here. I discovered this book a few days before leaving for our trip to Corolla, and decided to give it a try. I enjoyed the characters and felt that the storyline itself was pretty good. The narrator, however, did not do this book justice. Giving voice to women and children is not his forte. The editing wasn't fantastic, either. There were times, in mid sentence, that the narrator's voice dropped. As bad as I thought the narration was, I continued to listen because I enjoyed the story and wanted to see how it ended---that says a lot about the author! I would definitely recommend it, esp if you are familiar with Corolla.
