As Carly begins to uncover skeletons in the family's closet, she becomes the target of violence from somebody who is trying to keep these secrets hidden. I enjoyed this book, but my main complaint was with the complexity of the plot. The family history and details were intricately laid out, and these details were critical to unraveling the mystery.

Elizabeth Lowell First published: Infrequent and somewhat hand-wavy. Something secret, maybe once with the government, not really letting on. But it involves computers and guns. Vast amounts of exposition — from the political history of New Mexico to development of photographic techniques and their use in dating and on to the sexual peccadilloes of incest —coupled with unnecessary internal monologues make this a difficult book to get into. I did enjoy it, eventually, but it was hard work. Overall, it works as a very light romantic suspense, taking place over less than 2 weeks.

But it could have done with lots of trimming. I was hoping this would be a good suspenseful mystery book and the start of a good series. After all the blur promises "a riveting tale of dark family secrets ready to explode with the devastating force of a Southwestern earthquake" and deems Lowell, "one of today's top masters of suspense".

The book opens with the murder of a New Mexico senator who left behind a wife in a coma, a spiteful sister-in-law and a son with Presidential aspirations. The sister-in-law hires a genealogist to write her fa I was hoping this would be a good suspenseful mystery book and the start of a good series. The sister-in-law hires a genealogist to write her family's history. But someone wants to stop any investigation of the family secrets. It sound good on paper. But the execution just didn't match the set-up.

I enjoyed the genealogical parts of the story when Carly was sorting through pictures and records to piece together the Castillo family tree. I didn't believe that she could cross-reference birth and death records of children with suspect parentage so quickly to narrow down the suspect pool AND that said records would include height, weight and coloring.

The plot drags along with lots of nothing happening between small incidents related to the mystery. There's nothing to draw you into the family to want to learn more. Why don't we learn more about Sylvia? What happened to her? What caused the stroke? The grandson was shipped to rehab quickly and never heard of again.

Why write him in at all then?

I found it very unlikely that people would befriend and confide Carly so quickly. Especially in a small town where everyone knows about everyone else's family business and the Quintrells are the biggest name around. Oh, and of course he'll be hunky, brooding and wounded. I also found it implausible that Carly and Dan became an item in a matter of minutes.

The romance seemed forced and trite. Is it a requirement for novelists to give all amateur girl sleuths have curly hair so she can wind a long curl around her finger when she's nervous, pensive or horny?? I didn't find the conclusion very plausible because the villain just couldn't have been in all those places.

I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator was wonderful. I enjoyed her characterizations and style. I just didn't enjoy the book she had to read. Apr 08, Jackie rated it it was ok. When the novel opens, a heavily-applied pillow is sucking the life out of "the Senator," the patriarch of a powerful New Mexico family. We soon learn that Andrew Josh Quintrell III was of a breed so vile and disgusting, it was amazing that foul play hadn't befallen him decades earlier.

His legacy is one of sorrow and heartache. The Senator's death coincides with the arrival of Carolina Carly May, a genealogical researcher. She's been asked, or more accurately, commanded to trace the female line When the novel opens, a heavily-applied pillow is sucking the life out of "the Senator," the patriarch of a powerful New Mexico family.

She's been asked, or more accurately, commanded to trace the female line of the Castillo family by the Senator's tough as nails, sister-in-law, Winifred. Is Winifred out for revenge on those she believes put her sister, Sylvia, the Senator's long-suffering wife, in a coma? With more than a few secrets of his own, Dan Duran, one of the Senators unacknowledged grandchildren, apparently, the Senator had neither discretion nor access to birth control, begrudgingly gives Carly a hand in her quest.

They develop a rapport that takes the brooding, loner Dan by surprise. Their relationship unfolds slowly and thoughtfully for a few pages, but before long Dan's "woody" is open for business. The plot thickens when mean-spirited pranks intended to frighten Carly turn into full-fledged murder attempts. What information hidden in the family tree is worth killing for? And like an episode of CSI, we learn something about forensic genealogy.

I give the book 3 stars for the history lesson. Aug 26, Maura rated it really liked it Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Carly May has been invited by an aunt of an old political family to do a genealogy, but someone is trying to keep hidden the secrets of the past and is willing to threaten and even kill her to get it done.

They have to track the genealogical evidence to find out what the secrets are and Carly May has been invited by an aunt of an old political family to do a genealogy, but someone is trying to keep hidden the secrets of the past and is willing to threaten and even kill her to get it done.

They have to track the genealogical evidence to find out what the secrets are and who might be willing to kill for them. This is an excellent mystery-suspense. And it is more that than a romance, although there is some of that in here too. I liked the characters a lot. They had good, intelligent, witty dialogue and some pretty great chemistry. The mystery and unraveling all the threads and motivations was really fun and definitely kept me engaged. I admit that I had to skip through some of the explanations, particularly the ones on different types of photos from the 's - and it had nothing to do with the plot or keeping up with it really.

Just don't skip the explanation of the DNA there at the end, that's pretty important to understanding what's happening. I do wish the romance had been a bit more explored and other details skipped in place of it. It seems they had one, brief sexual encounter and then everything else was behind the scenes. Then a very hasty romantic conclusion.

The mystery definitely overpowered the romance, but it didn't effect the quality of the story. I just would have liked to have seen more between these two very likeable characters. Jan 30, Tom Tischler rated it really liked it. The very powerful Quintrell family of New Mexico has spent years in the public eye and now the patriarch of the family a former U. He has his son Josh in the Governor's chair squarely in line for the Presidency.

Carly May researches personal histories and the Governor's eccentric Aunt Winifred has invited her to the Quintrell's mansion in Taos N. M to do some research. But digging in the past has raised some troubling questions about the would be president's life, his late father The very powerful Quintrell family of New Mexico has spent years in the public eye and now the patriarch of the family a former U. But digging in the past has raised some troubling questions about the would be president's life, his late father and catatonic mother and the grisly street crime that left his drug addicted sister dead.

It's starting to look like Aunt Winifred has something more like revenge in mind instead of a family history. Carly needs help and turns to Dan Duran a mystery man who somehow has links to the Quintrell's past.

Carly really needs help to survive the terrible secrets a father carried to his grave. Some dead secrets really can kill. Another top notch story from Elizabeth Lowell.

It is book one in the St Kildas series. A little hard keeping all of the family in line but worth the effort. There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
