Reviews: 5 out of 5 stars
By Marilyn Miller "Mystery Maven" (Central Texas USA) This review is DEADLY SECRETS is the perfect book for a rainy day. It's the first of Jude Pittman's Texas mysteries... Kelly McWinter, who left the police force after his wife was killed by a molotov cocktail meant for him, provides security for a flea market while he tries to heal from his wife's death. Kelly isn't the only one who's walked away from another life. Among the vendors, Anna Davis is a 50-something lady who's seen better days and now tends to look at life through the bottom of bottle. She's as mean when she's drunk as she is loyal when she's sober. When Anna is found murdered inside her booth, suspects start popping up all around her. They're all her "friends," yet each has a reason to want her dead. In Indian Creek, no one is quite what he or she seems. Some are likeable enough that you'd enjoy sitting down with them at Cam's Hideaway Bar and tossing back a beer. Others are as irritating as a flat tire, like the posturing Frank Perkins, who'd twist the truth if it made him look like a big man. The victim's daughter, a beautiful young woman, searches for the truth about her mother's death with Kelly's help. In helping her, Kelly realizes he's starting to feel again, along with the sensuous Stella, who adds the right bit of cynicism and seduction to balance the suspense. DEADLY SECRETS kept me guessing. Just when I thought I knew "whodunit," I'd turn the page and discover someone new with the means, motive and opportunity. If you like an entertaining mystery that will confound you until the very end, DEADLY SECRETS is for you. I highly recommend it and look forward to more from this talented storyteller.
