'A brilliant pulse-racing thriller that I could not put down...' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The girl was lying face-down, the soles of her socks covered in fresh grass stains. Her wavy, chestnut hair fanned out across the pavement, as if across a pillow. She almost looked as if she was asleep... When a teenage girl is found dead on a quiet suburban street, Detective Meredith Somerset is called to the scene. The victim is shoeless, the only clue to her identity a silver heart-shaped charm hidden in her grass-stained sock. Did she run from her killer across the smooth lawns of Willow Lane? And if so, how did no one in the surrounding houses see or hear a thing? As Meredith investigates, she's haunted by flashbacks. Years ago her little sister disappeared in broad daylight, and no one saw a thing then either. It's the reason Meredith became a detective--to get the justice her sister never did--and she won't stop until she gets the truth. Meredith needs answers. But Willow Lane has more than one mystery behind its doors--and to find the killer, she must venture into a community that's determined to take its secrets to the grave... A nail-biting crime thriller with a shocking twist, perfect for fans of Kendra Elliot, Robert Dugoni and Lisa Regan. Readers LOVE Secrets to the Grave! 'Great book! It had suspense, intrigue, action and so many twists and turns! I can't wait for more!' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'An intriguing thriller that will keep you guessing... his best yet! Looking forward to the next installment... highly recommend!' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Had all the great elements you want in a detective book... Couldn't put it down at all. Can't wait for the next one.' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Wow!!! Marvelous.' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Prepare yourself for a totally immersive story that you won't soon forget.' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'As well as the intrigue that begins on the very first page this book really tugs at the heartstrings... A great start to what I hope will be a really exciting series.'

Detective Meredith Somerset and her new partner, Tyler Foles, get to know one another as they investigate the murder of a teenage girl on a street where everyone seems to be guilty of something.

I really enjoyed this. Meredith was great. I liked that while she had the requisite tragic backstory (a missing little sister) it doesn't overwhelm the narrative. She's obviously still upset but has looked for and managed to find healthy ways to overcome her trauma and it was refreshing. The inclusion of her therapist goes a long way to normalise mental health and I think that's really important. I liked that she had a great relationship with her ex husband, his partner and her daughter - I loved that they all get along and look to support one another - I wish more people did this for their kids.

Tyler was alright. I didn't love his drug use or his backstory. I mean if your mentor cop really did cover up your mum's death for the insurance, would you really ever tell anyone? I mean it's all well and good that he doesn't want to mar the cop's memory - but also - it's a crime? Meredith seems to accept it with little compunction and I didn't feel it was very realistic. Still it was okay.

As for the mystery I was riveted trying to figure out who was who and what was going on. It was very enjoyable. I felt sorry for the kids on that street though - they've all got seriously messed up parents.

A well written police procedural with a main character who's only slightly off her rocker and mystery that keeps you guessing. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. ( )

I can't thank HQ Digital for providing me with a digital copy!
NetGalley Thank you for the opportunity!
And Steve major thanks for such awesome work yet again!

Steve Frech has yet to disappoint me!
I have quickly became a major fan of his writing just last year after reading three of his books back to back!
I was obsessed and couldn't wait for another book to come out!
And here came Secrets to the Grave and to top it off this is going to be a series! (love series)

Secrets to the Grave is a fast paced mystery! A whodunit?
We have Detective Meredith Somerset who I'm a major fan of! I loved her personality, her demeanor!
Who is dealing with some personal issues! A tragedy that happened when she was younger!
But my favorite was Detective Tyler Foles a Vice and Narco Detective who moved up the ranks and up to homicide.
I loved the way he talked, his smartass-ness just his personality in general!
(And I hope we see more of him in the next books to come) hint hint ( )
