Share No Secrets
Autor Carlene Thompsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2005
Along the banks of the Ohio River, the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, has been the home of quiet pleasures and safety for Adrienne Reynolds and her fourteen-year-old daughter Skye since the death of Adrienne's husband four years ago. Their sense of safety is shattered, however, when Adrienne and Skye find the body of one of Adrienne's best friends, Julianna, in a once-elegant, now abandoned hotel named La Belle Riviere. La Belle has a long history of misfortunes, but Julianna's murder is the most gruesome.
Evidence indicates Julianna that had a secret lover whom she met regularly in the hotel, and who could have been with her in her final moments. The only person who knows this lover's identity is the hotel caretaker, Claude Duncan. But Claude is quickly silenced-drugged and burned to death in his small cottage on the grounds of La Belle the night after Julianna's death. One by one, people close to Adrienne are brutally murdered, and it looks as though she and Skye are the next targets of a fierce killer with a shocking secret.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
"She smiles as her lover walks away."
"She does not know they'll never meet again."
"Or that the next hands that touch her will kill her..."
Adrienne Reynolds knows that bad things can happen anywhere. Even in her hometown of Point Pleasant, West Virginia...even at Point Pleasant's grandest hotel, La Belle Riviere. Known by locals as The Belle, the hotel has been the scene of many tragedies. Some even suspect that it's haunted. But just days before the hotel is to be torn down, Adrienne and her teenage daughter, Skye, learn that The Belle has a final, tragic surprise. For in one of its elegant rooms, Adrienne discovers the body of her best friend, Julianna Brent...
The police believe Julianna was killed after an illicit tryst with her lover. While Adrienne struggles to make sense of the murder, she is faced with a series of unexplainable events. The mugging she suffers one rainy night...the strange note warning her to leave town...the other mysterious deaths that no one can explain. As she unravels the mystery, Adrienne learns that everyone in Point Pleasant has their secrets-and everyone has their price. But she may learn it all too late to save herself-or Skye-from the simmering evil that only a small town can hide...
"Thompson creates smart, interesting characters the reader cares about within a gripping suspense story."
