Search - Hard Truth

Two children who mysteriously disappeared twenty-one years ago are the last thing on Lorna Temple's mind when she returns to her Pennsylvania hometown to sell the old family property in the wake of her parents' passing. But instead of memories, the fields where Lorna grew up yield something utterly chilling.

All those years ago, when nine-year-old Melinda Eagan vanished on her birthday, her foulmouthed older brother, Jason, quickly became the lone suspect. Yet when he went missing, too, the case turned cold. But Jason, it seems, never got far: His bones have been moldering on the Temples' land for two decades. As far as the local police are concerned, the book is closed on Melinda's murder-and Jason's death is justice served. But Lorna refuses to let the dead rest uneasily. She turns to private eye T. J. Dawson to dig up the dirt of the past and see what lies beneath. Only there's someone out there who hasn't forgotten-and who won't be the least bit forgiving about being exposed as a killer.

In matters of crime, there are many versions of the truth.

Another excellent suspense mystery which I enjoyed immensely. This starts out with the disappearance of two children. Twenty-one years later, after the death of Lorna Temple's mother and a visit to her hometown, you begin to receive answers to a lot of questions pertaining to the body count that is rising. But who is telling the truth?
Characters from the previous book in this series will arise. This is an intense story line which will surprise you in the end. You may, of course, be an avid mystery reader and have figured it out before you reach the end; but it is worth the ride.

Very good. Can't wait for the next one.

Great book if you like mysteries! Children disappear years ago and bones found in the woods bring the case to the front again. Now there is someone out there who would like the dirt of the past to stay hidden. The ending surprised me completely and I loved it!
