Secrets in the Pines

A Detective Riley Quinn Pine Brooke Mystery, Book 8

By: A. J. Rivers

Narrated by: Isabella Tugman

We have the perfect marriage.

I had hoped no one would ever find out our secret.

After her best friend was murdered in cold blood, Detective Riley Quinn left life in the big city for the small town of Pine Brooke.

When she is called to a bone-chilling scene at the Elwood Mansion.

A dinner turned deadly.

It seems there are many dark mysteries shrouding the family.

Resurfacing deep wounds that even Logan Elwood had blocked out of his memory.

While at the manor, Riley receives a call to the scene of a kidnapping. Soon after interviewing the mother of the missing children, a shot is heard from the house next door. And Riley's sister is found standing next to her husband’s dead body.

With one nightmare scene after another unfolding.

It feels as though no one in town is safe.

Blood is thicker than water. But it leaves deeper scars. Ones that could destroy everything.

the love for everyone

I liked everything. the why they really like each other but wont say anything. Just real love you writing. thank you for you.

Narrators must be AI - ugh

I struggled to enjoy the book due to the narration. The best description I can give is that the speaking is too precise and the cadence and tempo unnatural.

The storyline was entertaining however I don’t believe both stories were actually completed. Leaving a reader hanging is great for a sequel but one storyline seemed to be left undeveloped 3/4 through.

It was an okay listen but not great.
