Interesting started with a murder from the past not reading the first it took me a couple chapters to get into it and understand it. I wasn't thrilled reading it and didn't enjoy it.

Secrets is a mystery that has a great beginning that will grab your attention but kind of falls a little flat at the end. The letters were a sticking point for me. They should not have been at the end of the book, but sooner in it. Still a good story,bit not one that I would run out and buy.

Secrets, written by Mary A Russell is an interesting mystery novel and is currently a Kindle Unlimited selection on Amazon. When Lee is fired from his long time job, he does some soul searching about his mistakes with his wife, Joan, who had passed away. While he is pondering what he is going to do with his life, he receives a request from his wife's best friend, Miranda.... a former FBI agent. Surprising himself as much as anyone, Lee decides to travel to Miranda's house and help her with her investigation. They quickly get in over their heads as it does not seem like anyone wants them to investigate the death of Bert Grayson, a man who left the bar and was killed many years before. The deeper they dig, the more questions they uncover instead of answers. As they read the mysterious letters written by Lillian Grace, they are faced with having to unravel what is real and what is not.

Overall the story line was very interesting, but I think it would have been better for the letters to have been included in the content of the book rather than at the ending. The interactions between Lee and Miranda were curious but the chemistry just did not seem to vibe for me...

Secrets bu Mary A Russell is the test of time story of love found, denied, protected by any means, but never full fulled.
Of the secrets kept of a love that leads to a murder, but not resolved for many years.
Where even the good guys, aren’t good.
Secrets is a bewitching story.

After a couple chapters it was clearer that there was past and present events evolving. There are a lot of characters and almost too many potential culprits who could have committed the murder. While it held my interest, it sometimes seemed disjointed and ended rather abruptly. The letters they kept referring to were at the end of the book and by then not really very enlightening or interesting. I just couldn't make myself read them fully because they seemed repetitive and were referenced so often throughout the book.
