Within the last month we have had a lot of wonderful author interviews and not very many reviews because I was so swamped over the holidays reading time was scarce. But I’m hoping you have enjoyed the interviews as they give a new perspective on what it’s like to be a writer and what the people behind the words are like. Finally now we have another review, this time of a book by California author, Janet LaPierre. Many more reviews will be coming over the next few months-some will be of books by familiar authors but I really enjoy discovering newer, lesser-known authors with great books. I hope I can help add to your To Be Read pile. Keep an eye open as well for more contests and chances to win some of the great books reviewed on this site, and of course many more great interviews, including one with well-known author Jan Burke.
This is the sixth book in the Port Silva mystery series. KEEPERS features a mother and daughter team of private investigators living in a quiet town on the coast of California. In this book they find themselves looking for a mother and daughter who have disappeared. The concerned ex husband shows up at Patience Mackellar’s office asking her to look for them. Patience finds this odd, especially since he shares with her that his ex wife, Lily, left him for a friend of his. But he is apparently concerned about her and his seven-year-old daughter, Sylvie, so Patience decides to take on the case. Patience’s daughter, Verity, has left an abusive husband to live and work with her mother. LaPierre does an excellent job portraying the relationship between mother and daughter and in describing the beautiful scenery that is the backdrop for this story. And, your heart breaks for the sweet, brave, young Sylvie. The two work together, and at times separately, following the trails left behind by this woman, and they learn that her current husband, Dev Costello has also gone missing. Verity finds herself going undercover in a reclusive religious community, and as the story progresses we learn that not everyone and everything is quite what is seems. This book does contain some strong language and sexual content. Reviewed by Lorie Ham, author of MURDER IN FOUR PART HARMONY & THE TROUBLE WITH TENORS www.LorieHam.com Go To Page: 1
