Closely Harbored Secrets: 08/16/24
Closely Harbored Secrets by Bree Baker and Thérèse Plummer (Narrator) (2020) is the fifth book in the Seaside Cafe mystery series. Everly Swan finds the president of the neighboring Roanoke historical society murdered during the annual haunted Charm ghost walk tour. Her name is scrawled next to the body, making her a person of interest again. More disturbing, though, is the appearances of a pirate who appears to be following her. While Everly doesn't believe in ghosts she is off-put by the threats left behind by her "ghostly" stalker. She's also afraid these events might escalate into something life threatening, as has happened with the previous murder investigations she's been tangled up in. As with the previous books, Everly's ultimate situation, the one where she's once again fighting for her life and needing a rescue, comes down to situational awareness. Everly, while nervous about situations is still woefully bad at reading people. She can't tell when she's so obviously being scammed or groomed or worse. Although Everly's friends and family seem aware at her failings at reading people, they have so far done very little to protect her. Everly's inner circle need to stage an intervention. But if they did, the mystery would be much shorter! The sixth book is Partners in Lime (2021) Four stars Comments (0) |
