Deadly Ripples by Penny Goetjen #bookreview #mystery

Overview

Where murder mystery and family saga collide—with deceptively charming Charleston as a backdrop. 

As a middle child, Boston native Kathryn Moore has always struggled to fit into her nouveau riche family and would rather do anything than carry on with the family business. Her aspirations lie in more artistic pursuits: to become a writer like her uncle, which strains her already turbulent relationship with her mother.

After Kathryn’s uncle, her mentor and confidante, dies tragically in a car accident, she learns he has bequeathed his Charleston home to her, and life changes in ways she never could have predicted. But was his untimely death an accident or is the truth more sinister than that?

As she grapples with his death and delves deeper into the circumstances surrounding it, Kathryn struggles with visions she has little control over. She can’t help but wonder if the act of logging them into her notebook along with her story ideas etches the visions into reality. Could she be responsible for all the misery left in her wake—including her uncle’s death?

Review

Kathryn’s uncle, Gray, has just tragically passed away in a car accident. She has inherited his house in Charleston. She cannot fathom why he would do this. Yes they were close, but she never dreamed that he would leave her his home. After she arrives to inspect the house to put it on the market, she starts to discover not everything is as it seems.

Kathryn has always wanted to be a writer like her uncle. But her mom has done everything in her power to keep this from happening. And while she is in Charleston, Kathryn starts to come into her own. She not only pushes back against her overbearing mother, she discovers more about herself and her strengths start to show.

This is a wonderful family drama full of mystery and family secrets. I enjoyed young Kathryn, especially as she develops her courage. Then there is the setting of Charleston and this old house…such charm and possible paranormal activity! Perfect for a fall read! Add in the circumstances surrounding Gray’s death and you have a fast paced tale you do not want to miss.

Need a fabulous family drama…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today! This releases September 17!

I received this novel from the author for a honest review.
