The Secrets They Left Behind: A Mystery

This was a book I simply could not put down. When I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about when I could pick it up next for just ONE MORE CHAPTER. Shea O’Connor is a young police officer from Buffalo, New York. When she gets called upon to work undercover for the FBI to find out what happened to three missing girls in Kellys Falls, Shea transforms herself into a college student. As she makes friends with the same girls the three missing girls were friends with, she finds herself deep into the culture of this small town and even finds a love interest. This book was very realistic, and I loved that Shea was not perfect. She had her flaws, but this was what made her fit into the town. The story is gripping and the characters are all very intense, from the lady next door who is experiencing domestic violence to the mean girls at the local college. This book also wraps up well, which I was extremely happy with. The ending was satisfying with no stone unturned. Lissa Marie Redmond does a fantastic job of storytelling, with twists and turns everywhere you look. I recommend this book to any lover of suspense and thrillers. You will not be disappointed.
