Family Secrets (A Whispering Pines Mystery) by Shawn McGuire – Review by Changley Cavins

Family Secrets by Shawn McGuire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was so good!!!

Whispering Pines sounds like a pretty great place to live. Full of misfits who are just looking to be accepted.

Jayne O’Shae is the main character. A former detective who travels to Whispering Pines to get her grandparents house ready to sell. That’s not at all what ends up happening. Upon her arrival, she finds a dead body and no cell service. When she tries to use the landline to call the local police, she finds her grandparents house has been vandalized.

Who was the dead person really? Were they murdered? Are witches and magic real? Did Jayne really come to Whispering Pines to get the house on the market? What else will she find?!

I felt Jayne was relatable and I loved Meeka, her dog. I loved her realistic apprehension towards Wicca and witches but the author did a great job of painting the reality behind those two things. I loved the small town vibe of Whispering Falls mixed with the mystery, drama, and scandal.

I will definitely be reading the 2nd book in this series- Kept Secrets.
