Editorial Reviews

Review

Kit Roarke travels to the tiny town of Pratte, Vermont to track down her best friend's killer. As she delves into the sordid lives of these small-town citizens, it becomes clear that her friend Joanne, a reporter, was poisoned because of a story she was working on, the story of a long ago love triangle that ended in a double murder. Kit also knows that Joanne had met a man, a man Joanne knew she wouldn't approve of. Despite her attraction to the charming southern doctor, Noah Stewart, Joanne can't ignore the possibility that he's somehow involved in Joanne's death. First, there's his unexplained behavior at the party where Joanne died. Then there's the way his behavior gets stranger and stranger as she gets closer to the truth. It seems that Dr. Stewart has some deep, dark secrets himself. Secrets that no amount of charm can hide. Despite his attraction to her, Noah Stewart wishes Kit would go back home and leave the investigation to the slow and methodical police department. Maybe then the investigation will stay away from him, stay away from the man he's afraid is responsible. A man who haunts Noah, delving into his innermost thoughts. A man who has been dead for decades.Ms. Burford has crafted an intriguing psychological suspense! A hero who keeps you guessing in the tradition of Phyllis Whitney and Madeline Brent! A clever story, where pieces are revealed detail by detail! His Secret Side starts with a bang and picks up steam right through to the finish!Annette Carney -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times
