BEST KEPT SECRETS BY SANDRA BROWN
Posted on October 22, 2020 by Chelsie
Alexandra grew up with the guilt that her grandmother seemed to blame her, for her mothers death. Her grandmother raised her quite tough and now she is on her deathbed, and Alex has one last goal. She wants to find out who really murdered her mother and why? She wants to give her grandmother closure, and finally not feel at fault for a mother she didn’t even get to know.

After getting approval, Alex heads back to the town her mother grew up in, and soon all hell breaks lose as word gets around that Celina’s daughter is in town and asking questions. She looks like her, but he is also her own person so sh soon discovers she cannot hide out here, while digging into the past, but it is quickly made clear that she is making a mistake and that sleeping dogs should lie.

Alex, not one to be deterred doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about her digging up the past, and believes she has a right to do it. It was her mother after all and the truth really was not found out. They may have convicted someone and closed the case but most in that town know that, the person they convicted did not have the mental capacity to harm her mother, and that the real killer is still out there.

She gets herself quite entangled into the towns history, and soon discovers everyone is connected, and that connection runs deep. Oil deep, and that oil is being turned into a horse race track that will bring the money and boom back into the town. The only problem, the family that is funding this, are the ones who seem to be the most likely to have had a hand in her mothers death.

The more Alex uncovers and interviews people’s recollection of that night, the more murky the water seems to get and it doesn’t seem like she will every find out the truth. Meanwhile there is a fire and suicide, and each time she seems to be the last one seen. What is happening and will she ever get to the bottom of it all?
