Star Cavanaugh is obsessed with the one that tore her family apart. Over sixty years ago, Daisy Doe was murdered and discarded outside Pineville, Alabama, buried without a name or anyone to mourn her loss. When Star’s father tried to solve the case, he was also killed. Now a cold-case detective with resources of her own, Star is determined to get to the bottom of both crimes. But she’ll have to face an entire town locked in corruption, silence, and fear–and the same danger that took two other lives. The only people in the town she can trust are her grandmother and the charming Mike Luinetti, and both of them trust a God Star isn’t sure she believes in.

My Review

Reading this book by Ramona Richards made me feel close to home. Having grown up close to Gadsden, Alabama, the setting felt all too familiar. The author’s description of southern life was very real. She knew how the peace lily’s line the Baptist church isle and about the sweet tea that was closer to syrup. And, one must not forget the kudzu.

This book is one that goes back in history and then fast-forwards to the present day. It alternates in each chapter so that just when you are ready to hear the next sentence, you’re left hanging. This really keeps you wanting more! But, sometimes I got a little lost in all the character’s stories. There were so many bad guys!

The main character, Star, is a private investigator obsessed with her grandmother and father’s murders. She is divorced from an abusive man and lives in Nashville. She leans heavily on her dear Gran, a tough lady who lives in Birmingham.

Star is brave and stubborn, which is necessary for the job she’s doing. She moves to Pinesville, AL to go underground in her quest to solve the mysterious murders. As she gets closer to the truth, she has ruffled the feathers of the evil men who have kept this town living in terror.

The corrupt characters have committed so many crimes and murders that they won’t stop silencing anyone who tries to bring the light of day to their evil deeds. As Star learns more, those who are helping her are being killed. Most people would get out of there before they also become a victim, but not Star.

With the support of her Gran and the help of a handsome officer, Star stays dedicated to her pursuit. But, will she push too far? Is she going to be the next person to be silenced?

This book had Christian thoughts throughout, but it wasn’t a central part of the book. It was a clean suspense and definitely had plenty of moments when the reader will be nervous as they turn the page. For mystery lovers, this book will keep you guessing.
