How Secrets Die by Marta Perry

Description

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: How Secrets Die by Marta Perry

4 STARS

This is the third book in the Laurel Ridge series.  The suspense, mystery is pretty good. It kept me guessing most of the book.  Lots of drama, action and romance added in.  This book hardly mentions the Amish people that the first two books did.

 Kate Beaumont has come to Laurel Ridge, Pennsylvania, a year after her brother died.  She wants to find out what happened to him to turn him back to drugs.  Kate has lost her job and her step-father so has the time to get answers now.

Mac Whiting is the police chief.  He finds Kate on her way to town and wants to know what she is up to.  He wants to find out who is bringing drugs into his town.

With Kate bringing questions up about her brother stirs up trouble for her.  Someone does not like her asking questions.  Mac wants to keep a eye on her and help figure out what is going on.  Plus they have some chemistry  together.

I like Marta Perry' writing style. Her small town settings.  I will read more of her work in the future.

I was given this ebook to read from NetGalley and Harlequin.  In return I agreed to give a honest review of How Secrets Die.
