HOW SECRETS DIE

As Laurel Ridge embraces a stranger hungry for answers, a sinister truth is awakened.

A hard-hitting reporter, Kate Beaumont unearths the deepest lies and brings harsh truths to light, but the story that lures her to the gentle town of Laurel Ridge, Pennsylvania, is closer to her heart than anyone knows. The details of her half brother's sudden death have never made sense. She owes him justice, yet the one man who can help her is the stubborn sheriff she can't stand.

Protecting his town is Mac Whiting's top priority. Everything else, including pacifying a beautiful crusader on a mission best left resting in peace, is secondary. But as Kate's search embeds her in his world and attracts a skilled criminal, she needs Mac's protection. Drawn together by deadly secrets, they must find a way to trust each other before a killer silences them both.

My Review:

I could not put this book down! I was rabidly compulsive about reading to the end! And then I was frustrated when it was all over. LOL There's no pleasing a reader sometimes. How Secrets Die is the third and final book in the Laurel Ridge series and that fact right there makes me sad. :-( Luckily I'm still basking in the afterglow of a tale well told. And no worries if you haven't read the other two books, each works very well as a standalone. Mind you, I found it so much fun to be back visiting familiar characters in Laurel Ridge so that was an added bonus.

The romance is sensational. Tension explodes from the first time Mac and Kate meet -- and oh what a memorable scene that is! They are at odds with each other, often working at cross purposes as they strive to solve a mystery for different personal reasons. Mac is infuriated by Kate's stubborn determination. Kate is affronted by Mac's take-charge attitude. Their wary truce isn't always peaceful but the dynamics between these two is so much fun to read. And stew over.

Perry knows how to draw out a suspenseful plot. I thrilled every time I picked up on something I thought was significant and then writhed with anxious anticipation to see if I was right. A thrilling read from beginning to end.

Please note: How Secrets Die is not categorized as Christian Fiction (it's published for the general market by HQN) but it is a clean read.
