Blurb:
Curiosity draws me back to the wooded retreat when random items and a camper goes missing. But a dead body means I’m staying.
My return to sister camp, River Rock, was to help locate Wesley. But when his body is found lifeless, my gut tells me there’s more linking these wooded retreats than pine trees.
Detective Harper warns me away, butunresolved history pulls us into a fragile alliance to find the truth.
As whispers of the murder burn through the camp like wildfire, Leah, with her violent past, suddenly reappears and Dana’s sinister facade becomes more suspect.
Adding another layer, flashbacks of a violent fire deep in my memories, coats the situation with a complexity I have yet to understand.
When Biscuit, my faithful mutt, unearths a bloodstained cloth that leads us closer to the truth, warnings and threats await mein the woods.
This summer at River Rock is no campfire tale — it’s a lethal puzzle that needs solving before I become the next missing piece.
My Review:
Maggie and Biscuit are back and doing what they do best: solving crimes. They are called to the River Rock campsite to investigate a missing person case. After speaking with some campers, Maggie discovers that someone has been entering their RVs and stealing items.
Biscuit finds the missing Wesley in a shed behind the RVs. What happened to Wesley? Why was he in the shed? With all the campers at River Rock, there are plenty of suspects. Maggie’s search uncovers a few suspicious characters and individuals hiding things.
I love the title, Secrets in the Pines, as it perfectly fits the story. The mystery and suspense kept me eager to read on as I tried to figure out what or who was involved in Wesley’s disappearance. Each time a clue was revealed, I was shocked and raced to the end, searching for anything that could explain what happened to Wesley.
And what’s going on with Maggie and the flashbacks she's been having? What do the flashbacks have to do with Harper? Is Harper connected to Maggie’s past? If so, how? There are so many questions that I need answers to right now.
