Book review: False Pretenses

I finished reading book #1 in the Secrets of Roux River Bayou series called False Pretenses by Kathy Herman.  I have had this book sitting in my pile to read for several months.  When I picked it up to read, I had a hard time putting it down!  And I am excited that book #2 (Dangerous Mercy) just came out last week.  I look forward to reading it as well. 

In False Pretenses we meet Zoe Broussard who owns a Cajun eatery with her husband, Pierce.  She loves her town and the people there including her neighbors Vanessa and Ethan (characters from the Sophie Trace Trilogy).  When she starts getting anonymous notes in random places, she is afraid for her life, her business, and her marriage.  She is scared that a secret she has hidden for years is going to end up causing danger for herself and those she loves.

Meanwhile, Vanessa and Ethan want to begin work restoring the Langley Manor. They have a disturbing mystery of their own though.

I enjoyed reading this book.  It was a real page turner for me!  I enjoyed the characters and the setting of Louisiana.  This is an area I do not know anything about so it was interesting for me to read as it had some Cajun dialect thrown in here and there.     

Have a day of blessings!
