In Savannah, Everyone Has Something to Hide
When socialite Evelyn Doyle hires investigative partners and best friends Michael Preston and Elizabeth Kirby to do some routine surveillance on her wayward husband, the detective duo find themselves embroiled in a mystery that leaves them in this beautiful, historic city longer than they had expected.
Evelyn's husband turns up dead, leaving her as the police chief's prime target. The investigation reveals a hodgepodge of potential murderers, including a scheming business partner, a resentful mistress, and a ne'er-do-well brother. It's up to Mike and Beth to follow the trail of secrets that reaches further than the branches of the moss-draped oaks of Savannah.
As praise of the agency gets around town, business is growing for Price Investigations. When Mike and Beth hire Kaitlyn Webb, Savannah's newest transplant, their workload eases, but will the ghosts of her past threaten everyone's safety before a killer can be put behind bars? And can Mike and Beth find love as their friendship and faith are put to the test?

Usually I am more of a chick lit girl, but this mystery by Ellis had me from the very beginning. This is the fourth book in the Secrets Of The South Mysteries I loved this story from beginning to the end. The characters have ones that you will love and some you will love to dislike. Beth and Michael are a very good characters . The author had me guessing who actually committed the crime until the very end. This book has it all mystery, romance and a little action. This was a good clean fun read. I have to say I loved the setting for this book.
I gave this book 5 stars. This can read as a stand alone BUT why would you want to the whole series all four books are fantastic.
I received this book from the author/publisher for review. A favorable was not required and all views expressed are my own.
I love a mystery and it gets 5 starts from you. I'm definitely getting this one.
ReplyDeleteThis whole series has been one that I've been wanting to read for a long time. Great review!

ReplyDeleteI normally don't like mystery books, but this does sound like a great book that I would love to read, and the fact that Mary gave it 5 stars lets me know that it would be one that I would want to read.
