A review by infairveronaa
Best Kept Secrets by Sandra Brown

3.0

I thought the whole Celina married to anyone other than Reede thing super suspect since it was apparent that they were so in love. Finding out that Alex was conceived before the marriage and hence caused the marriage between this random guy (Al Gaither) made more sense then because I was have convinced Reede was Alex's father before the whole romancing bit between them.

I kinda wish the whole romance portion wasn't a thing but I know it was pertinent to the story for the present to mimic the past so I accept it.

I definitely thought Celina's murderer was Stacey or Sarah Jo since meeting them both in the novel but was heavily leaning towards Stacey up until Angus' confessional.

Sarah Jo being Celina's murderer and trying to kill Alex (twice), not surprising. Sarah Jo being a psychopath who also killed her brother and a horse...surprising.

Junior dying....surprising. Junior dying in hopes of finally one upping Reede, not surprising. Sigh. Poor guy.

Overall, I liked it.

P.S.
That reverend made me feel soooo uncomfortable.

P.P.S.
Am I wrong to call Judge Wallace a pathetic, weak man?
