The Shark House by Sara Ackerman #bookreview #audiobook @harpermusebooks

Overview

A BookBub “Best Books Coming This Winter”

A haunting mystery beneath the ocean’s surface. One woman’s reckoning with the past. Long-buried secrets waiting to rise.

Hawai’i, 1998. When a string of rare shark attacks unsettles the once-peaceful Kohala coast, marine biologist Minnow Gray is called in to investigate. Known for her uncanny connection to sharks, she is the island’s best hope for uncovering why the attacks are happening—a mystery that has both the local community and the tourism industry on edge—and for determining whether the same great white still haunts the coastline.

Witness to an unspeakable tragedy involving a white shark and her own father, Minnow has carried a darkness with her ever since. She knows, deep inside, that unlocking the memories of that long-ago morning is the only way to truly heal. And as she searches for answers, the past and present collide, revealing shocking and unexpected truths that cut deep as the sea itself.

The longer she’s in Hawai’i, the more she comes to see that her journey here might be as much about finding herself as finding the shark.

An atmospheric exploration of the intricate/fragile dance between humans and sharks, set against a backdrop of stunning Hawaiian landscapes and deep-sea danger, The Shark House is a tale of resilience, redemption, and the raw power of the natural world—and of the courage to face what lies within.

Review

Hawai’i, 1998. When a string of rare shark attacks unsettles the once-peaceful Kohala coast, marine biologist Minnow Gray is called in to investigate. The longer she’s in Hawai’i, the more she comes to see that her journey here might be as much about finding herself as finding the shark.

I have to say, this tale is unique. A total transformation from Sara Ackerman’s WWII novels. I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this. I mean…it’s about sharks. I may never think about sharks the same again.

Minnow is an amazing character. she is smart and a bit damaged from her past. She doesn’t hesitate to do what she can to find out why these sharks are attacking.

The setting of Hawaii and all its beauty along with the power of the ocean and the sharks leads to a rare tale where you can picture everything in your mind. And you end up rooting for the sharks.

This is narrated by Jennifer Robideau. Excellent job!
