Where Secrets Sleep by Marta Perry - Review of the first book in the Watcher in the Dark series

 



BACK  OF  THE  BOOK  BLURB

IN AMISH COUNTRY, NOT EVERYTHING IS AS SIMPLE AS IT APPEARS

After a terrible betrayal, Allison Standish flees Philadelphia for the small Amish village of Laurel Ridge to claim an unexpected inheritance. Allison intends to sell the mansion housing various shops on Main Street---until she meets Nick Whiting, a single father and tenant of Blackburn House, who challenges everything she believes about her estranged grandmother and the Amish community.

Strange stipulations in her grandmother's will soon bring distant relatives and seething townsfolk to Allison's door. As anonymous threats escalate, Nick grows protective of Allison, and she finds herself falling for the handsome carpenter... But then she discovers her grandmother's death may not have been accidental, and someone wants Allison gone. Permanently.


MY  REVIEW
Marta Perry pulls you into this book thinking its about getting away from one devastating situation into another, she had not seen or heard from her grandmother since she doesn't remember ever hearing from or seeing. Then all of a sudden there's more to add to the story.  You will want to keep reading to see if things are as they appear.

Okay, I'm on to book number two, "When Secrets Strike"!
