A love to die for...
On the run since his daughter was born, Mitch Turner has concealed a truth so dangerous, its discovery could jeopardize both their lives. But when a series of shocking murders hits their new found home, the trail leads straight to Mitch. With the police out for blood and his daughter ripped from his arms, he has nowhere to turn--until a beautiful stranger offers her help.
Neesy Brown has made mistakes in her life, yet she refuses to believe this mysterious man is a killer. There's a strength in his broad shoulders that draws her to him and a weariness in his eyes that she longs to ease. As the murders tear her small town apart, she vows to help Mitch find his missing child. But a cunning predator is pulling them deeper and deeper into his fatal game. And the price of losing is the child--and the future--they could both share...
My take on this book:
Mitch Turner has been on the run with his daughter Julia for eleven years, bouncing from town to town, trying to avoid any attention.
While driving thru Crossroads TN, Mitch does a heroic act that causes him to become acquainted with a local family who offers to let them stay in their carriage house. Julia bargains with Mitch, she wants to make some friends and go to school, Mitch gives in even though he knows the risk of staying in one spot to long.
Mitch gets a job as a short order cook and meets Neesy Brown,even though Neesy has sworn off of men, she becomes enamored with Mitch's kind caring attitude.
Just when Mitch starts feeling comfortable in his new home the local police come after him accusing him of murder, one in the town and one that took place 11 yrs ago. Lies he told are exposed. Threatening everything he holds dear,and the only person who he can turn to for help is Neesy.
How will he protect Jules from behind bars, how can he protect her from the person they have been running from for eleven years ?
This is an amazingly well written book with several plot twists, very well thought out characters, the hero and heroine are so down to earth normal making them very easy to relate to, and a killer who will send chills down your spine.
A suspensful story with murder, mystery and a tale of two people drawn together to save a child who find love in the process.
Reviewed for Readers Favorite.
This sounds excellent! Thanks for the review, Brenda. This might just have to go on my wishlist...
ReplyDeleteOne question though, what's a "carriage house"? I've heard it mentioned in a few books set in the States but haven't figured out what it is yet. If you could clue in an ignorant Brit I'd much appreciate it :)
Hi, compulsive! Just dropping by (surprise!) to say thanks to Brenda for the review of LIES, and to fill you in on carriage houses. They were where the rich stored their carriages before cars were born. Kind of like a garage. They were often close to the main house, but not necessarily attached to it. There were stables nearby as well. Most of the carriage houses were torn down but there are still a few here and there. I saw several in Muscatine, Iowa when I visited family there a few years ago,
ReplyDeleteRachel thanks so much for dropping by my blog, Glad Annie dropped in to give a definition of what a carriage house is! I would add that most carriage houses that I have seen have been renovated and are usually used as garages, but also used as apts, studios etc.
ReplyDeleteAnnie I was honored to read and review your book! It was the first opportunity that I had to read anything written by you and now I plan on going back and reading One Deadly Sin. Thanks for dropping by my blog, your surprise visit totally made my Monday !
