Family Secrets (A Whispering Pines Mystery) by Shawn McGuire – Review by Vanessa Watts

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

I must preface this review in first stating that I absolutely loved this book. The character development is well thought out with Jayne’s family dynamic being something we have all experienced at one point or another in our lives.
This book starts out right away with action after Jayne and Meeka her wonderfully trained furry companion end up finding a body on the grounds of her recently deceased grandparents’ property. That is not the only surprise waiting for her when she arrives with the intent to clean stuff up to sell the homestead. Unfortunately, the sheriff doesn’t seem to inclined to investigate the murder on the grounds so Jayne opts to tackle this mystery on her own, after all it is in her blood as a former detective. As Jayne goes about investigating the murder, she learns certain things about her family history that she never knew. Along the way she meets a cast of unique characters and some opposition to her solving just what happened. Some secrets are not meant to be uncovered is this one of them? Can Jayne figuring out what happened, or will she find herself in trouble herself? This is one book you must read; I know I have already purchased the next few books in the series because I love Whispering Pines!
