Summary

What would you do to save yourself?

In the village where “all are welcome and those in need may stay” long-buried secrets keep rising to the surface. With renovations on the house finally complete, Jayne and Tripp are ready to open their B&B. Villagers and tourists gather for their grand opening barbecue. Close friends check in as their first guests. Aside from a minor glitch or two, everything is going to plan...and then someone turns up dead on the side of the road.

Unsure if she’s looking for a murderer or a hit-and-run driver, Jayne jumps headlong into figuring out what happened. Her confidence is shaken, though, when some of the locals point out that the rash of murders started when she arrived in the village, insinuating that she brought the darkness hovering over Whispering Pines. Now, in the middle of a possible murder investigation, Jayne must clear her own name as well.

It doesn't look like a hit and run.

At last, the old house has been spruced and restored and turned into a B and B, just in time for the tail end of the tourist season and a grand opening is arranged. The first guests are old friends of Jayne, also the local sheriff, for whom the success of the new business will determine whether or not Whispering pines itself will survive as the land on which it was built belonged to her re gently deceased grandmother as somewhere to welcome those uncomfortable in the outside world. But since Jayne's arrival some months beflre, secrets have been tumbling out of the woodwork...

Would grandmother have approved of her opening the house to strangers? And is the body by the road a simple accident or has murder struck again? The characters in this small town grow comfortably more familiar as Jayne herself settles in to this beautiful, if somewhat mysterious area of countryside. A stand alone read but much better if the series is dead in sequence. Narration by Sandra Murphy is simply excellent with a full range of vocal depths and heights. She does full justice to the story increasing the reader's involvement and enjoyment.

I very much enjoy this tale of small town wicken folk and am grateful to the rights holder of Hidden Secrets: Whispering Pines who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you.
A delightfully enjoyable book.

This series shouldn't stay a secret

This series shouldn't stay a secret because I have enjoyed every single one and would highly recommend them, in fact I did to my mum. The stories are all stand alone books so you can listen to them in any order but as it is a small town many of the people are regulars. If you start with book one you get to know them as the series unfolds, also you don't know a few of the secrets ahead of time. I like the characters especially Jayne and her little dog but it is the fact that you don't know what is going to happen next that keeps me listening. The mystery is good and although I had guessed the reason I wasn't sure which one was the murder, there was plenty to choose from. I also like the magic side to the series it isn't in your face spell casting and is more what I think of Wicca with the use of herbs and positive thinking. All in all a great book and a very good series.
Jayne and Tripp's B&B is finally ready for guests and to celebrate they have a party and everybody is invited. The first set of guests to stay happen to be old college friends of Jayne's that she hasn't seen in years but want to help support her new adventure and get away from the kids. The party goes well, with the exception of one guest that seems he has to infect his fowl mood onto everybody he meets. Jayne gets a number of complaints about him during the evening and being sheriff the complaints keep coming in the next day also. With patience wearing thin Jayne decides she will have to talk to him and maybe ask him to leave but before she can he is killed. Was it murder? An accident? Or natural causes? Jayne can't wait for the autopsies results to come in, the weekend is nearly over and if it was murder than the most likely suspects his friends would be leaving and it would be to late. Jayne once again plunges head long into a murder investigation but this man annoyed so many people tourist and villagers a like so it won't be easy and to top it all off she starts to suspect one of her college friends. How much can a person change? In fact did she really know them as well as she thought?
Sandra Murphy is such a talented narrator that I cam glad she is reading this series because she adds her own magic to what is a good book.
