Sins of the Father (The McIntire County Series Book 3) by Winter Austin – Review by Jenni Bishop

Sins of the Father by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sins of the Father is the third book in dark and moody The McIntire County Series and each book gets better and better even though they have all been amazing reads. These books are standalone stories, but I would recommend reading them in order otherwise you are missing out on so much as the characters and their stories intertwine between books. Winter does a great job of setting the scene though.
Deputy Jolie Murdoch is the new girl on the block. Finding a body was not on the agenda. A missing girl yes but no body. Her past has left her with wounds, but she is a strong woman underneath it all. It was good to see her growing and finding her true self. Along the way she finds a little more than she knew she needed.
Former marine Xavier Hartmann is trying to deal with the skeletons of his past. But someone has other ideas instore for him. Someone who does not want the truth out there and will anything to stop him. Along the way he discovers something that becomes vital to his wellbeing.
The story is told from multiple the POV which I love because you get to learn more about the characters and what makes them tick. There are a lot of secondary characters that help move the story along.
Sins of the Father is a tale of murder and secrets, lies, mystery, suspense, violence, manipulation, politics and romance. It is a great story that has twists and turns and an interesting plot that keep the pages turning. It is one tale you won’t want to put down. There are also some laughs to be had when Xavier’s sister is around.
Did not see that ending coming though!
This is a must read and I look forward to what comes next.
