The Secrets We Bury

By: Debra Webb

Narrated by: Chelsea Stephens

Doctor Rowan Dupont knows death. She grew up surrounded by it in her family’s Victorian funeral home, and it’s haunted her since the day her twin sister drowned years ago. Between her mother’s subsequent suicide and the recent murder of her father, coming home to run the funeral home feels fitting - even if it leaves her vulnerable to an obsessive serial killer.

Rowan refuses to let fear keep her from honoring her family. But the more time she spends back in Winchester, Tennessee, the more she finds herself questioning what really happened that fateful summer. Had her sister’s death truly been an accident? And what pushed their mother to take her own life?

The dark lake surrounding Rowan’s hometown holds as many secrets as the bodies that float in its chilling depths. But Rowan is running out of time if she’s going to uncover the truth before somebody sinks her for good.

Gripping and thrilling

This book catches your attention from the start to the end. Best book I have read in a long time

Thoroughly enjoyable

Great story told very well by the narrator.
Did not see that ending coming at all.

Great Plot Twists

Narration was great. Storyline kept you on the edge of your seat. Finley is a great lead character in the book. She is complex, intelligent, strong and loyal.

Excellent

Thoroughly enjoyed every second. Well developed characters and plot. Spot on narrative. Looking forward to more.

Very slow starter w/whiplash plot

This is a very slow starter, which doesn't say much for the main character since she narrates most of the story. As a likeable character she never reaches beyond lukewarm. For a psychiatrist, Dr. Rowan Dupont is incredibly unaware of both her own and other's real motivations.
The plot did make me wonder if the story was being told by an unreliable witness. By the middle of the book there were enough twists and turns to make it nearly exhausting. To avoid spoiling it for other readers, I'll admit enough curiosity to finish the book. Once finished I hoped this didn't have a sequel. Unfortunately there is which I'll happily skip.
Debra Webb is an author I've enjoyed before which led to this purchase.
