“Secrets in a Small Town Run Deep”

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

The murder of his girlfriend fifteen years ago when they were teenagers changes the course of his life. Paul Harrison went into law enforcement and becomes a golden boy at the FBI. Abby Winthrop was also affected by Cassie’s murder; interspersed with her grief was guilt. The three were best of friends in their small town. A serial murderer was caught and convicted of Cassie’s murder; he was “a sociopath, a sadist, an unrepentant, gleeful murderer”, but was he guilty?

More complexity and suspense would help, but this is a solid who-done-it, with some emotional romance thrown in for the reader’s enjoyment. An entertaining read.

Is it one of two killers. If two,who is the second one. The author keeps us guessing until the final pages. Oh,there is foreshadowing. Just enough to trade us. Well written and plotted

Very twisted plot. The clues were exposed throughout the book I usually have the bad guys figured out before I have read half the book, but not this time...

My Thoughts:

This is exactly the type of book I have been looking for when it comes to romantic suspense! As a girl that enjoys a good mystery and also a good romance, romantic suspense should be the perfect blend of the two for me. For whatever reason though, I have a hard time finding romantic suspense books that I really enjoy. This author changed all of that for me now. I enjoyed both parts of this book equally and felt that it was a good blend of the two genres. In fact, I really couldn't stop reading this book once I got going. It was just so good and so hard to put down! In this book, Abigail is searching for the truth behind her best friend's death that happened many years ago. The police believe that they found her killer and he is sitting in prison for his crimes. When she comes across evidence that may prove otherwise, she is drawn into the hunt for the real truth behind her friend's death. The mystery portion of this book was both suspenseful and very intense. Like reading as fast as I possibly could intense to see how everything would turn out. But what also drew me into this book was the history between Abigail and Paul. There was this easy chemistry between them from the very beginning pages and I couldn't get enough of it. I also think that their shared history helped to make the relationship developing between them feel more natural. It wasn't one of those instal-loves that I despise so much. Instead, it almost felt like the relationship that developing was like coming home after being gone for too long - that feeling is the best way to describe it!

Overall, I am so excited to have found this author's books because I enjoyed this one so much! I actually already have another of her books on my shelves waiting to be read which pleases me to no end. I need more romantic suspense reads just like this in my life! I found this to be a heart-poundingly good read and one that I couldn't get enough of. I think that fans of mysteries and thrillers would enjoy this book just as much as fans of romance would. I'm planning on reading more by this author sooner rather than later. I would highly recommend!

Bottom Line: One of the best romantic suspense reads I've read in a long time!

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher.

A Great Thriller

The characters were well described, and the plot was so well constructed that the reader would be forced to keep turning pages until the very end.

Be a Good Girl was a great suspense that I quickly read ...

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2018

Be a Good Girl was a great suspense that I quickly read through, desperately trying to figure out who the killer was. With a closed case from so long ago, Abby and Paul know they have their work cut out for them and I enjoyed putting together the puzzle pieces even if most of my guesses were wrong. For the most part, this book is concentrated on the mystery and there's very little romance plot. I would have enjoyed a little bit more one-on-one time for Paul and Abby to bond and connect by sharing parts of their lives. For instance, in a previous book Paul had a harrowing experience with a serial killer and it's left him struggling with PTSD. Abby finds out about this experience through another person but her and Paul never actually talk about it themselves. It's been such a huge part of Paul's life and I wanted those emotional moments when two characters share their struggles. However, Abby and Paul's long history as friends helped connect their characters and make their love story more believable. They have a very rich history and both have been suppressing feelings for the other so that emotion is already there in the relationship.

My favorite part of this book was probably Abby and I absolutely loved her dogged determination to find justice for Cass as well as to stop a vicious murderer. Abby refuses to let anything stand in her way, from Paul's protectiveness to her own fragile emotions where Cass is concerned. She knew going in that getting all the nitty gritty details of Cass's death was going to be exceptionally painful but she was willing to put herself through it to find the truth and make things right. One of Abby's greatest traits is her inner strength which is truly inspiring. This book is all about female empowerment and Paul's respect for all of the incredibly talented women he works with is wonderful to read. In fact, all of Tess Diamond's books have strong female leads that are supported by their male counterpoints.

Paul himself is also very intelligent and a great FBI agent but I do feel like he took a bit of a backseat to the story and that this was really Abby's investigation throughout. That being said, Paul is an all-around great guy that you just genuinely like from the beginning. To help out with the investigation Paul brings in his forensic and tech expert Zooey and I could definitely tell that Dimond was setting her up to be the heroine of hopefully the next book. We get to see a little bit more into Zooey's history and how she ended up as an FBI agent, which was a fascinating story, but we also really got to see the young genius at work. I also have my guess for who her hero will be and we'll just say that if I'm right those two are definitely going to make sparks.
