My Review

This is my second time back in Echo Falls, and with author Marta Perry, while these falls are lovely, and sure would like to see them, there is a lot of danger here.
We are back with some old Amish friends and a certain law firm, but this book can be read alone, and you will be hooked once you turn the first page.
My mind kept switching as to whom the culprit was, and I was very surprised in the end, and all because of greed. Our main character is a grieving daughter, and searching for her roots, in surprising twists, and in the end not knowing whom she is with her mother gone, but wait for the twists in this story.
There is a bit of romance here, but with the sense of loss so fresh, and the findings so new, both are going slow, and be ready for so much to unfold, and danger around each corner.
I for one can’t wait for the next book in this series, mysteries at the finest.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.
