About the Book:
One body may be an accident. A second body means murder.
The old Chandler place should be empty. The magnificent Victorian mansion is for sale, even if its aged owner Miss Fonda doesn't realize it. But when real estate agent Geraldine Harper enters the house on a sunny October day, she's not alone. Minutes later, there is a body at the bottom of the steep steps leading to the tower room.
Deputy sheriff Michael Keane is called in. At first blush, it looks like the death was a tragic accident, but clues point to foul play. And when a second body is discovered, the race is on to find the culprit . . . before someone else dies.
If you like your small-town America sweet and quirky--with a dash of sinister--you'll love this latest whodunit from deft storyteller A. H. Gabhart.
My Thoughts:
“Life was often messy.
So was death” (p. 55)
Michael Keene’s job as Deputy
Sheriff in Hidden Springs is usually as quiet and peaceful as the town’s name
implies. However, there a secrets buried
that folks want to remain secret. What
motivate some to greatness motivates others to evil, and Michael Keene is responsible
for unraveling motives behind multiple murders before anyone else suffers harm.
A. H. Gabhart writes cozy
mysteries that I find thoroughly entertaining but not so intense that I lose
sleep! Her characters are realistic and
well-developed so that you come to care about them during the course of the
story. There is a love interest that
simmers beneath the surface, and young-adult characters that add a touch of
innocence to the sometimes morbid reality that can be called life sometimes.
I enjoy the fact that the
interplay between the lives of the Hidden Springs residents are realistic and
the author doesn’t sugar coat the reality of health issues or family dysfunction.
This could happen in Anywhere, USA. You
will feel right at home among the residents of Hidden Springs, and you will
want to return for another visit soon!
