Lots and lots of characters ( )

This has been a wonderful series, including the novella. It's horrible to think people are being trafficked, but it still makes the news all the time. Everything wrapped up well, except I think they forgot to reward the cat, or at least the author didn't mention it. I may read more of her books next time I'm in the mood for suspense. ( )

There is plenty of suspense infused with a touch of romance in this final book in the Lavender Tides trilogy. After her mother’s murder, Bailey discovers that her mother had concealed secrets about their lives, and now she fears for her own safety. Little by little, Bailey’s discoveries bring her closer to the truth, and as the pieces fall in place, they reveal a picture of a criminal capable of immense cruelty. The author does a fine job of bringing the trilogy to a satisfying conclusion and tying up loose ends. ( )

Title: Secrets at Cedar Cabin (A Lavender Tides Novel #3)
Author: Colleen Coble
Pages: 352
Year: 2019
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
The Lavender Tides series has very engaging and entertaining stories that include the first two books titled, The View of Rainshadow Bay and The House at Saltwater Point. I think to appreciate the genius of the story is to start with the first book and read all three. The Secrets at Cedar Cabin really brings an exciting conclusion to the mystery introduced in The View of Rainshadow Bay along with such a variety of characters.
In this third installment, readers will enjoy Bailey Fleming’s character. It was very intriguing how Bailey lives her life knowing one mother and moving all the time through her character’s experiences. Some facets of the many threads regarding Bailey, Grayson and Shauna revealed in the first two books yet in the end of this third book more are revealed that tie up the mystery.
Bailey’s life is radically changed with the information about who she really is and what happened decades ago. Bailey believes no one knows where she came from and can hide at a cabin reinventing herself. The truth unravels when FBI agent Lance Phoenix starts poking in her life. There are thrills as well as danger that is faced by many characters that seem to hint to who is the main culprit to what happened to Bailey, the mother she thought she knew and the man to whom she was once married.
The novel is riveting and climactic and will entertain readers for hours. Collen Coble knows how to grab a reader and pull them into her books and keep them there till the very end! I have read a lot of her books and recommend those looking for a solid story, believable characters, faith, romance, suspense and so much more to look Collen’s way! You won’t be disappointed and I dare say you’ll want to read more coming from her pen in the near future!
