Rita Herron is a new author to me. This romantic murder mystery suspense book was sent to me for a review and I accepted not knowing what exactly to expect. I am so very thankful that I read All the Beautiful Brides. I started it, kept reading and reading and reading late into the night picking it right back up in the morning and finished it before the day was over. I did not get much accomplished around the house.

All the Beautiful Brides has everything. There are secrets, lies, partial lies, murder, and romance. The family dynamics are extremely interesting. Each character has their own history and that is shared so that the reader can understand why the character acts the way they do. Cal’s history tells why he has the pull to Mona safe. Mona’s history is finding her birth parents after losing her husband unexpectedly in a car accident. Those are the main characters but the secondary characters are just as interesting. I loved Anna and her father’s relationship; while it was not healthy it was by far the one that interested me the most. I knew there had to be more to it.

I highly recommend checking out this series. I know that I have added the rest of this series to my MUST READ list. I cannot wait for more from Graveyard Falls.

This was a good start to a series. Main characters, Cal and Mona, were great. I enjoyed the chemistry between them and seeing their relationship develop. I liked the mystery aspect to the book, and am already looking forward to the next one.

Found it too hard to get into this book. Will try again in the future with this author to see if I can like her books
