When family secrets are unearthed, a woman's past can become a dangerous place to hide... After the death of her adoptive mother, Ava Saunders comes upon a peculiar photograph, sealed and hidden away in a crawl space. The photo shows a shuttered, ramshackle house on top of a steep hill. On the back, a puzzling inscription: Destiny calls us. Ava is certain that it's a clue to her elusive past. Twenty-three years ago, she'd been found wrapped in a yellow blanket in the narthex of the Holy Saviour Catholic Church--and rescued--or so she'd been told. Her mother claimed there was no more to the story, so the questions of her abandonment were left unanswered. For Ava, now is the time to find the roots of her mother's lies. It begins with the house itself--once the scene of a brutal double murder. When Ava enlists the help of the two people closest to her, a police detective and her best friend, she fears that investigating her past could be a fatal mistake. Someone is following them there. And what's been buried in Ava's nightmares isn't just a crime. It's a holy conspiracy.… (meer)

Compelling Tale to While Away an Afternoon

Started reading this on a lark, to break from my usual genres. There are some confusing bits and an uneven quality in the narrative but I think they stem as much from the editing as the writing. The core mystery was compelling, and even when I thought I knew whodunnit, I could not be 100% certain about the details, so it remained compelling. All in all an entertaining diversion that has left me at least mildly curious about the sequel, although I can't say I will rush out to read it since it isn't to my usual reading taste. ( )

Did Not Finish. But I did read several 1-star reviews with spoilers, and that reinforced my choice, I don't think I would have enjoyed it.

I'm officially in a rut. After going like gangbusters since January, I DNF'd the last four books in a row. I can't seem to find anything I want to read in paper, kindle, or audiobook format.

So, it may be time for ... my semi-annual Jane Austen binge!

There was always something off about the story her family told about how Ava was adopted by Claire Lavoisier-Saunders. Ava wanted answers and her family wasn’t talking. So when Claire dies Ava starts searching in earnest. When her best friend and a detective from work pitch in to help, the mystery starts to unravel, but the past is filled with murders. Then Ava herself disappears and it’s up to Joanne and Russell to finish the job.

I don’t care for the way this story is written. I can’t say why because it would be a spoiler, but I’m not a fan. Also, I don’t like Ava. Not one bit. The twists and turns in this are decent, but the means to finding the answers just turned me off. Again, spoilers which I won’t reveal. It’s just too hard to swallow, and falls very close to what I consider ex machina. I think the plot could have been written a different way, making it more believable and still been a great mystery. As it is, I’m disappointed in the execution. ( )

2 and half stars but I round it up because I don’t know how to feel about this book. It was chaotic and some moments made no sense. Overall it was a mystery with some surprises. ( )

Decent book. I don't want to give anything away, but the girl must be retarded to not know what was going on. ( )
