“We hid the body. The money belonged to everyone, but we stole it for ourselves. You have to help me give it back before it’s too late. If I don’t stop this, that money’s gonna drag us all straight down to hell.”
With these words, whispered to hospital chaplain Lindsay Harding as part of a cryptic confession, the stage is set for another intricately-plotted Mount Moriah mystery. All signs point to murder, but no one can find any trace of a body. Lindsay’s sure not all is as it seems, but she’ll need true grit and quick wit to follow a trail back through history to Burnt Island, a remote patch of North Carolina swampland.
Lindsay’s task is complicated by the shifting landscape of her personal life. After pre-wedding jitters jeopardize a relationship that seemed destined to be her best shot at happily-ever-after, Lindsay falls under the spell of a charming stranger. Whether she gets another chance at love will depend on following her heart…and on whether she can keep that heart beating long enough to unlock the mystery of Burnt Island.
My review:
Lindsay Harding is a reverend of thirty-one years, chaplain at the hospital and engaged to a policeman, Warren. In this third volume of the series she has to solve some sort of riddle: collects the last words of a dying man and seems they relate to a crime. But she can not find a body. In addition to solving this mystery, Lindsay has to manage her mother in prison and have to take care of a great-grandmother invalid.
It 's a quick and enjoyable read, well written, with a simple and clean language
