Stephanie Harris is no stranger to mystery and
suspense. The author of several best-selling thrillers returns to her hometown
of Driscoll Lake twenty years after her father’s suicide when her great-aunt
Helen dies.
She hopes to settle Helen’s affairs as quickly
as possible and leave behind the place where she suffered so much heartache.
Soon after her arrival, Stephanie stumbles upon information that leads her to
believe that all is not as it seems.
When she digs deeper into secrets long buried,
she begins to receive warning notes and mysterious phone calls. The threats
soon escalate into deliberate attempts to harm her. Stephanie soon finds
herself caught in a web of deceit and danger.
Who doesn’t want her to stay? And why? What are
they afraid she’ll learn?
Undaunted, Stephanie searches for clues about
the scandal surrounding her father’s death. But discovering the truth places
her in the path of a cold-blooded killer.
Unseen Motives is one of
those whodunit stories that keep you glued to the virtual pages. The story
flows easily, at a good pace. The characters Stephanie and Matt are likeable
and well-drawn and easily to relate to.
They have depth, with all their flaws and good
parts. A story with twists and turns, many chapters ending in cliffhangers that increased my
curiosity to know what follows next. Frustrating at times since when you think
you have figured things out, bam another surprise. But that is what makes Joan Hall's book
such am awesome read.
Stephanie returns to her native
town after twenty years. Beside settling the estate of her deceased aunt, she
is faced with a puzzle that she has to solve as it regards a tragedy in her family. Not everyone is happy with her
presence and she gets threatening notes. Not everyone in the story is who they
seem to be at first. So many lies impact so many lives. The atmosphere of a
small town, with its secrets, that everyone knows, with its gossip that
everyone enjoys to share, is perfectly depicted by Joan Hall.
Unseen Motives is well
written and unfolds in a manner that will keep you flipping pages on your
Kindle well into the night. This is a wonderful story and I look forward to
reading the rest of the series. If you're a fan of mystery stories,
grab this one, make sure you have plenty of time and enjoy this really
excellent book. Highly recommended!
