Publisher's summary

In Solitude, Oregon, everyone has secrets… and some will kill to keep them.

When she believes a teen is falsely accused of drug dealing, social worker Carly Taylor takes on a high-risk case and her estranged husband - the detective in charge of the investigation - to prove the boy innocent. A deadly new designer drug has taken hold of her small rural hometown of Solitude, Oregon, and Carly is determined to find the real dealer and clear the teen’s name. But the deeper she digs into the case, the more danger she unearths, until someone decides it’s time for Carly to move on… permanently.

Investigator Seth Harding knows he can’t stop his wife when she has a child to protect. But he risks any chance of reconciliation with Carly if he can’t learn to accept her dangerous job. When a drug dealer decides Carly is getting too close, will Seth lose her altogether?

A pulse-pounding Rogue River novella, Gone to Her Grave is the second exciting addition to the new romantic suspense series from Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot.

Gone to Her Grave

I don't know that I could ever do Carly's job, but what she does is important so I can see why Seth, her husband, is worried for her. But he also has to have some faith that she knows what she is doing.

His job is just as important. Both have hard and potentially dangerous jobs but it's the trust they need to have in one another. It's kind of no wonder their marriage is suffering.

I enjoyed this instalment. I am wondering where it's going to lead. ON to the next.

Enjoying the narration.

Very good narration

The narration is very good with the appropriate speed, emotion, and voices. The story is also very good. It is book 2 in this series but can be heard as a standalone if you choose. I love the characters and the family interaction. The suspense is very good but this book does have a lot of angst in it.

Rogue River Noveella series

The novella series has alternate stories written by Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliott. Although classified as romance-suspense, they are excellent suspense stories with little or no romance. Kate Rudd narrates superbly.

Great book #2 in the series

Another great read, compelling characters. A small town with big problems. Plus there's something brewing in the late sheriff's death.

Good mystery

The mystery was good and yes I recommend this book to people who like this author. Be prepared though to delve into some relationship problems that people in high stress jobs face. It was handled well, but I wasn't prepared to read about that in a murder mystery.

Intriguing continuation

Love the continuation of the story can’t wait until the next one to see what happens next! Great storyline and bridge from the last book.

Gone To Her Grave

Carly Taylor is a social worker and estranged from her husband Seth. He doesn't want the divorce but cannot figure out how to get through to Carly. Seth is on the task force for the drug problem and when Carly needs backup and Seth is the only one around, she doesn't hesitate to call him and he steps up. Will this be what saves their marriage?

Wonderful Continuation

This was a great continuation of book 1. Initially I was a little thrown off that the main character shifts to Stevie’s sister Carley but that didn’t last long as I was soon wrapped in her story.

So many unanswered questions

Oh the tension between Seth and Carly! This was a fast-paced story. So many unanswered questions! Bring on book 3.

Good summer read

Enjoyed listening to the audio. Good story. Believable characters. The narrator could use a little more practice sounding like a guy, but the story carried the day. I'll be listening to the next one
