Publisher's summary

Shirley Wallace and her four sons return to her childhood home on Pope Mountain in Jubilee, Kentucky, with a lifetime of hardship behind them, hoping to find peace and begin their lives anew. Eldest brother Aaron Pope returns to his life as a police officer and is settling in just fine. Then Aaron's investigation into an attempted murder leads him right to Dani Owens. She may hold the key to a long-lost part of the Pope family's past, and more importantly, she may hold the key to Aaron's heart.

A bit like a Hallmark movie.

It was ok, truly. If you like some sappy romance with your mysteries then you’ll love it.
I would like to say that you need native accents when reading. This lady did a fine job, but her accent was wrong. That gives a narration a feeling of being fake.
At least to me.

This could be a Hallmark movie

The same plot as every Hallmark movie. The story is predictable but sweet. Everyone always lives happily ever after.

Should have been shorter

The crime story and subsequent investigation was very good. But the “Love Story” was unnecessarily long and involved. We get it - You loved each other move on.

Enjoyable story.

This was a good book to enjoy while laid up for a day. It shouldn’t be a five star review but definitely a 4.5. Kept my interest all the way through.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This was an awesome read. I thought “Don’t Back Down” a was a great read; this one was better. I love the people of Pope Mountain. I love Sharon Sala. She is my favorite Author! I have read all of her books I own all of her books.

Not exactly a mystery/thriller…

I purchased this book on Audible’s Daily Deal as it was listed as a mystery/thriller. It actually reads as a romance novel with a backstory that’s a bit of a mystery. There’s nothing wrong with the story, it’s just not what I was expecting or what I enjoy. As far as the writing and narration go, it was well done.

Love Story

I liked that this book had a happy ending. I enjoyed the story, unrealistic as it was. The narration was easy to listen to. I liked how the author tied it all together. And I liked that the curse words were few and far between. I'm going to look for other books by this author.

Story with interesting elements, but

The writing is so full of cliches and the same phrases to describe a situation repeated by different characters that it detracts from the story.
