Interior designer Allison Standish plans a week away to clean up
the affairs of her recently deceased grandmother she never met and sell her
inheritance Blackburn House. However,
when she sees her boss sleeping with her boyfriend, Allison leaves Philadelphia
immediately for Laurel Ridge.
In the Amish town, Allison finds Blackburn House filled with stores
and offices; and that her grandma’s will includes a stipulation that she
successfully manages the house for a year before she inherits the property
outright to dispose of it anyway she wants.
Allison befriends quilt shop owner Sarah Bitler; and is attracted to
Mayor Nick Whiting a carpenter. However
not every local welcomes the big city outsider with an unknown using any means
to drive Allison back to Philadelphia.
Moving from her “Watcher In The Dark” trilogy (see Abandon The
Dark, Home by Dark and Search The Dark), Marta Perry authors a delightful
romantic intrigue anchored once again in Amish country (see the Plain
series). Allison keeps the storyline
focused as she makes new friends, finds love and wears a bull’s-eye that someone
targets. Although the suspense is
somewhat low-keyed, Where Secrets Sleep is a pleasant thriller.
