There are times when I come across a book that is just pure pleasure to read, such was the case with "Too Many Secrets," by Laura McClendon.

We meet Cassandra Masters, a widowed mom of one child and a woman with an exciting career as a private investigator in upstate New York. You soon find out that she is, as they say, 'one smart cookie,' and has never failed one of her clients, but this case is a tough one.

Dr. Moorehouse is murdered and his wife Eleanor seems the perfect suspect, she desperately needs Cassandra's help to clear her name. The plot has a twist as well, as Eleanor seems to have some strings attached from her past to Cassandra's late husband and her close friend David.
Cassandra accepts the challenge of this case and enlists the help of David and some other very colorful characters and they begin to unravel a not so pretty lifestyle of the late doctor, bringing more and more suspects into the picture around each corner.

I really enjoyed this book. It was packed full of colorful, interesting characters, mystery and twists and turns. As soon as I thought I had everything figured out, our author threw a wrench in the works and I was back to square one. Good job! I liked the way the author worked the characters, making you think for sure that one did the murder and then proving there was no way they could have. I never did quess who the real killer was right up to the end.
I also enjoyed the way Ms. McClendon intertwined Cassandra's business life and her personal life, this gave an overall believable aspect to the story and made it much more personal, and enjoyable.
All in all a great mystery read with a wonderful, likeable, believable main character. I hope there will be more books coming from this author; definitely one talented lady.

Very enjoyable story that kept me reading until it was (sadly) done. When is the next book?

I had such fun reading this story. The characters are so real and full of life, instantly I found myself caring about them. Each time I thought I had solved the mystery something would prove me wrong. It is definitely a book you will not put down until you have finished and I suspect you like myself will be looking for the next installment.

I thought this was a great idea for a book.
Laura McClendon writes like she stutters. The book does not flow smoothly...and she has a garbage mouth. Why did she have to put that kind of language in her book? She did not write like a lady. The main character, Cassie, acts like a "toughie." She would have come across better if she was a nicer person. The book needs smoothing out and take the garbage mouth out. I am ashamed that she lives in Clifton Park.

This is a great book. It's packed with colorful characters and lot of suspense. Loved it!

Too Many Secrets by auther laura mcclendon is a page turner. I could not put it down. If you like "who done it's" you'll love this book. Linda S. Dayton, OH

I read this book straight through, couldn't put it down. Characters were real and sometimes funny, didn't figure it out till the end. Hope there are more books coming.
