BURYING DAISY DOE by RAMONA RICHARDS

Publication date 17/11/20
BURYING DAISY DOE is the first book I have read by RAMONA RICHARDS and it most definitely will not be the last. What a thrilling read, full of twists and turns and nail biting suspense!
In 1954 Roscoe Carver's father narrowly escapes lynching when a pastor intervenes and proves that he couldn't possibly have murdered the girl with the daisy in her hair. In 1984 the bodies of two men are found in the same place, one of whom is Star Cavanaugh's father Bobby, a lawyer who was investigating his mother's murder, together with a Secret Service agent who was helping him. They were also looking into money laundering and counterfeiting. Star, a trained police officer, who is now a private investigator working cold cases, comes to town anonymously to try and solve her grandmother and father's murders. When the people of Pineville, who are still terrified and are still being manipulated, realize what she is up to they are even more afraid. Her life is in danger and she leans heavily on police chief Mike Luinetti, whose association with her puts his life in danger as well.
The characters are well portrayed and the author describes their feelings in a way that really draws us in. The plot is well worked out as we move between 1954 and the present day, and the story is told with some humour and a strong Christian message.
I am not going to tell you any more as I do not want to spoil things for you.
I highly recommend Burying Daisy Doe to anyone who enjoys good suspense.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from the Independent Publishers Group. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
