I received a complimentary copy of this book "The Secrets of Good People" and all opinions expressed are my own. A bit of a slow burn set in the 1970s. There is a murder and the detective is going to find out who did it no matter how long it takes him. Overall it was an interesting story.
This is a very old-school “who done it” book. It was somewhat of a slow burn in the beginning, but really picked up later on. There were definitely some twists that I did not see coming!
This is a fairly average murder mystery. The reader is left so far out in the dark, there's no way the solving of the mystery would feel satisfying. It also tries to be a gumshoe detective story at times but I wasn't feeling it with the 28 year old protagonist. I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a good, entertaining book! I love the mystery, and the way the characters were written. This book has so many twists and turns and it kept me engaged throughout reading it. There were lots of secrets, and the ending was not predictable.
Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!
I loved that this romance novel had a murder mystery that I was looking for from the description. The characters had that element that I wanted and I was invested in what was going on in this world. Boo Walker and Peggy Shainberg wrote this well and am excited for more in this team.
The Secrets of Good People by B. Walker, published by Lake Union Publishing, is an intersting murder mystery. A slow burn I wanted to speed up, I liked the story and the characters but nothing Like the author's An Echo in Time - that book I loved and fell hook, line and sinker.
Catherine and her husband Dr. Frank Overbrook move to a tiny island in Florida in 1970. Neighbors gather to welcome them but in the morning frank is found dead. Detective Quentin Jones now must find who did it by looking at the welcome guests and the island residents. There was a lot of drama, descriptives scenes and mystery in this book. I am not a huge detective/mystery book fan but this was done well and had a lot of other good parts to it going on.
I loved this mystery book set in old Florida that I loved . The setting is almond a character itself . It was a good book and I liked it better than the other books by this author
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review the book
A murder mystery set on an island off the coast of Florida in 1970, before the days of theme parks and strip malls, this story is as much about the beauty of an unspoiled Florida as it is the murder
Buckle up, because this book takes you for a wild ride full of all sorts of drama, emotions, and twists! I was so engulfed by it from the first chapter. It was fantastic. Loved it! Wonderful job Boo Walker and Peggy Shainberg.
