Upon a summons from her grandmother that she had't seen since a child, Laurie went to visit her in the old mining town in Colorado. Dangerous secrets began to emerge and she had to solve them before someone silenced her. Great romance story full of suspense.
Another good story by Phyllis Whitney, set in an old mining town in the Colorado mountains. A mystery to be solved and a little romance as well
If you like westerns and ghost towns, oh and cowboys.....then this story is for you. Mystery in the form of Laurie Morgan not remembering something traumatic that happened in her past that takes her back to her grandmother's house in Colorado. Domino is the abandoned mine that her grandmother owns and holds the secrets that Laurie has long buried. Great story.
Whitney is still amazing. The twists and turns will catch you off guard even when you've read her before.
I somehow missed reading Phyllis Whitney the first time around, and am trying to remedy that by reading her books now. I lucked up with finding a few up for grabs on NetGalley (reissuing for kindle). While the writing is dated due to the time period in which she wrote it, I didn't find it detracting or that it really had a "dated" feel to it. I would term this a romantic mystery-suspense.
Laurie Morgan survived a major tragedy in her youth, and due to it's awfulness, she has completely blocked it from her memory. Her beloved grandmother at the time of the harrowing ordeal cesased to have any contact with her from that time forward. Until now. Nearly 20 years have passed, and her grandmother has asked her to come to visit her on the estates in Colorado, Morgan House, where her the terrible events took place. She gathers her courage and invites her current love interest to come with her. What she finds there confuses her and no one will be honest with her about anything. Why does the attorney seem like he's hiding something? Why does the nurse seem to have a dislike for Laurie as well as a discomfiting attitude? Why can't she remember what happened when she was a child? Laurie must confront all of the long-held secrets and mysteries of the past and face the dangers to her at present these will cause.
I very much enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more by her!
