By: Mark McNease, M.A. McNease

Narrated by: Daniela Acitelli

Maggie Dahl returns in Open Secrets. It’s been six months since the media circus surrounding the last murder Maggie solved and a year since her beloved husband, David, died. The dust seems to have finally settled. Then, one morning, a customer walks in and asks Maggie to do her a favor.

Soon, a body is discovered on a rural New Jersey road. A body Maggie is sure belongs to a local author whose next book was rumored to reveal secrets not everyone wanted known. But were they enough to kill for? And who murdered the woman found in the woods? Maggie is determined to find out, even as her life continues its road back to normal, complete with the possibility of new love.

Can she find the answers she seeks in the death of a local celebrity? And will love be part of her life once again when she least expects it?

Great read!

This is a great mystery! Love the characters and the story line. It's a continuation of the series but works well as a stand alone also. I recieved a free copy and left my honest review

great story

the pace and tone of the narrator was a little odd. the story and characters were fantastic. I know the town and the author made come to life.

Dantastic and well-written read, with a great narrator!

What a fabulous read! McNease is a fantastically talented writer—sometimes you don’t know what you’re going to get with a cozy, but it is apparent that he knows the craft of writing and knows it well. The characters are complex, sympathetic, and so very, very relatable, and the mystery kept me guessing until the very end. And thankfully (super important to me as a regular audiobook listener), the narrator does a wonderful job of bringing his characters to life. Easily a five star read—I can’t wait to follow these characters’ journeys and see where they wind up next. Would love to see more audible books by this author—I’ve got credits to use!
