THE UNDERTAKER'S DAUGHTER #2  Sometimes the truth will get you killed.

The first book in this series is a novella titled " The Undertaker's Daughter", followed by " The Secrets We Bury". Both books are important to the third. 

Dr. Rowan Dupont knows death. Living above her family funeral home she shared her home with it. She knew how to embalm a body before most of us had kissed a boy.

Her story begins as she is working with the Nashville police as a psychiatric consultant. She has a nose for killers and in return, they are very interested in her. But when she fails to recognize that someone very close to her is one, she runs home to Winchester, Tennessee. She is still haunted by dreams of her twin sister's death, her mother's suicide and the serial killer who followed her home.

Along with her life long pal Chief Billy, who I love, she is trying her best to stay out of the crosshairs of Julian Addington, a prolific serial killer who wants her more than anything. But why? When a body comes into the funeral home with a tattoo of her mother's name on his back, Rowan knows this means something, she just isn't sure what. Then the body disappears and the Feds are back to following her around.

This is the main story. Rowan's fight to find the truth about her sister's death and her mother's suicide. Her mothers' journals are cryptic and full of death. Was she obsessed with serial killers or was she one herself?  As the bodies continue to stack up, nothing makes any sense. And of course, it doesn't because there is another story inside of the main one. 

I would suggest you read the first two books first. Just so you know who all of the players are.  I absolutely love this series and Rowan and Billy need to quit dancing around each other and get together. IMHO.

Very Well Done!

There is a bigger plot that is developing from book to book so these need to be read in order. That being said, you won't want to miss this page-turner! The characters are great. The mystery in Billy's new cases is easy to figure out. However, the biggest mystery revolving around Rowan, her family, and the past is a gripping, suspense filled thrill ride that keeps you coming back for more. Each tidbit that is revealed brings more questions and I can't wait to see how it all plays out. I also love the pacing of Rowan and Billy's relationship. It's slowly becoming something more and that feels perfect for these characters.

Another page turner. The plot of each book keep getting more complicated and puzzling and the secrets and lies of the past just keep getting bigger. I am on pins and needles waiting for more to be revealed.
