A Collection of Secrets

Jericho Falls Cozy Mysteries, Book 2

Someone’s been collecting secrets… and someone’s about to pay. Chloe Martin is finally settling back in to life in Jericho Falls.

The whispers about her return have died down, and for once things feel almost normal. But then a local woman dies under suspicious circumstances, shattering this peaceful illusion.

Then, when troubling information surfaces about Police Chief Garner, Chloe wonders if she’s misjudged him all along. The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a web of long-buried secrets, hidden grudges, and a collection of clues someone is desperate to keep buried.

To solve this mystery, Chloe must decide who to trust and how far she’s willing to go to stand up for what she believes.

A Collection of Secrets is the suspenseful second book in the Jericho Falls Cozy Mystery series.

Everything you want in a cozy

Brook creates fun and interesting characters with intriguing mystery all in a quant town. Also great narrator makes this a 5 star experience.

very enjoyable story

I really liked this story, the mystery and the characters.
I understand that I was lacking the context of some things, as I didn't read the first book in the series, but it dod not bother me too much, as it sometimes does.
The narrator was good and made the whole experience very enjoyable.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Fun sequel in a cozy mystery series

Collection of Secrets is a cozy mystery that picks up a few months after the first book ends. There's enough background and character backstory that it could be read as standalone.

The title is a good one. It seemed like everyone has a secret or two that comes out as the plot unfolds, and Chloe's past collides with the present. The threads left hanging in the first story are tied up neatly in this book. I hope that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Chloe and her friends in Jericho Falls!

Chloe has all the best intentions, but she is apt to say or do the wrong thing, especially with the Chief. She learns from her mistakes (and he learns from his) and their slow burn romance progresses. In fact, they find the body while they're on a date. She investigates on her own when she doesn't agree with the Chief's assessment of the circumstances, causing some trouble for him again. Really, he should have learned his lesson the first time and paid attention to her theories! :)

A fun cast of characters, vivid descriptions, great dialogue, and timely clues make the story easy to listen to. The ending was another twist I didn't see coming, which I loved again.

Kristin Hamilton returns to perform the audio version, with different voices for each character. She is perfect for channeling Chloe and bringing the narrative to life.
