Story4.5 out of 5 stars 117
Secrets and lies can’t stay buried forever in Cedar Valley. In the summer, hikers and campers pack the small Colorado town’s meadows and fields. And in the winter, skiers and snowboarders take over the mountains. Season by season, year after year, time passes, and the lies, like the aspens and evergreens that surround the town, take root and spread deep. Now, someone has uncovered the lies, and it is his murder that continues a chain of events that began almost 40 years ago.

With the unsolved murder of her husband still very much on her mind, Finley must confront her own personal trauma on a daily basis.

For fans of Eve Dallas
I have long searched for another crime series featuring a strong women lead with fleshed out characters - all the things I love about the Eve Dallas books. The Taylor Jackson series is just what I needed! I'm thoroughly enjoying these books!

Interesting until the finish
This author kept me interested all the way through. There is another book with the herione available, and I will certainly be purchasing it. If you like Patricia Cornwell, espeially her earlier books, this book is in that style. A good listen.
