Buried in Secrets

This is one of the most thrilling and profound mysteries ever written by this great author. Carly is looking for ways to catch Bart Drummond -one of her nemesis- red-handed in a series of past crimes. It shouldn’t be that difficult (the man is guilty as sin), but irrevocable proof tends to slip through her fingers. In her pursuit, she gets involved in a new, apparently clear-cut murder case and gets to meet the perpetrator’s family. As piece after piece of evidence piles up, a deep sociological study of the waters lurking below the surface in Drum, Tennessee, shows us a world hit by sadness and desperation, of silent cries for help and barely hidden violence. In this context, Carly tries hard to bring back hope to the community and to herself. She gives love and friendship a chance, a huge step for someone who’s been so badly hurt before. But as she learns to rely more on those around her, she comes to realize that it’s her newfound contention network that will cause her unbearable pain once again. This is a brilliant book, with precise doses of mystery, romance, thriller, and analysis of human nature. A truly great read!
