Synopsis

When doing the right thing goes horribly wrong...   Caroline Blakely is certain of two things: She was happy with her life as a first grade school teacher, and she can never, ever return to it.   After discovering a shocking truth about her father, the wealthy businessman at the helm of Blakely Oil, she’s on the run - a difficult feat given her father’s endless resources and connections.   With the help of friends, Carly is able to secure a new identity, but her attempts to keep a low profile are blown to bits when she gets stuck in Drum, Tennessee. When she investigates a cry in the parking lot outside her motel room, she finds herself the lone witness to a murder.   Stranded in the small Appalachian Mountain town, she soon realizes that Drum is as riddled with secrets as her own past. A huge chunk of the intrigue centers around the Drummond family, ancestors of the town’s founders, and their oldest son, Wyatt - an ex-con.   She knows she’d do best to stay away from the Drummonds, especially Wyatt, and from the mystery she’s stumbled upon, but Carly’s sense of right and wrong demands that she help, even if it means risking her own secrets...and her life.

What a great start to a new series! We met Carly briefly in a couple of Rose Gardner Investigates books, and we got to know how sweet and caring she could be. That comes across again in spades and shows us that Carly is truly a goodhearted woman. I believe even Rose would be very proud of Carly Moor......more

I wasn't completely sold on this book until about the halfway point, and now I can't wait to continue the series. It's funny, because at the start I didn't think I'd grow to love the characters, but they somehow snuck up on me when I least expected it. And apparently, this isn't the first time Carly'......more
