Belongs to SeriesMagnolia Steele (2)
For as long as Magnolia Steele can remember, the past has had its hooks in her. Her time as a Broadway actress in New York City was an escape that ended in public humiliation, but now that she's back home in Franklin, Tennessee, she's feeling the grip of the two incidents that stole her innocence. The first was the disappearance of her father when she was a teen, who left home for a meeting and never came back. The other incident . . . well, her memories have returned, but it's best left where it belongs-in the past. Hoping for closure, Magnolia decides to look into her daddy's cold case. Though the town gossips are convinced he ran away with his client's wife and money, she has always suspected foul play. Talking to a few of his old acquaintances seems harmless enough-until the man she's arranged to meet turns up dead. There's evidence someone murdered him to keep him quiet, and she realizes that whatever conspiracy her father was mixed up in is far from over; it's entering its second act.

I listened to all four books in this series back to back in less than three days, so it's pretty clear I enjoyed them. Something about southern accents on a rainy summer day just works. It's difficult to rate them individually because characters and plot are on-going and each book ends with cliff-hangers. Not a fan of cliff-hangers. Got to know the characters pretty well, but a couple of them had good guy/bad guy/no, back to good guy switches that didn't work for me. By the end of the fourth book I was on character overload. Too many peripherals pulled in to tie things up. Would like to read more by this author, but I'll be very careful about the commitment if I decide to start another series. ( )
