About this listen

Maggie Dahl returns in Open Secrets. It’s been six months since the media circus surrounding the last murder Maggie solved and a year since her beloved husband, David, died. The dust seems to have finally settled. Then, one morning, a customer walks in and asks Maggie to do her a favor.

Soon, a body is discovered on a rural New Jersey road. A body Maggie is sure belongs to a local author whose next book was rumored to reveal secrets not everyone wanted known. But were they enough to kill for? And who murdered the woman found in the woods? Maggie is determined to find out, even as her life continues its road back to normal, complete with the possibility of new love.

Can she find the answers she seeks in the death of a local celebrity? And will love be part of her life once again when she least expects it?

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first book mainly because it was so melancholy, with I think at least three characters who lost there other halves and were struggling with it, including the main character. Also you got a lot of background information on everything, especially the characters and most of it had nothing to do with the investigation, I know you need some to give depth to the characters but it was just too much for me. I did like the characters and thought when she was investigating Maggie did make for a good main character, puzzling it out. The mystery did pick up towards the end of the book, so I would probably give the series another go.
When a customer asks Maggie if she could get a famous author to sign her book , she had no idea she would end up investigating another murder. With no sign of the author, when a body is found in the woods, Maggie just knows it was her. She might have been famous but she wasn't the nicest person in town. Maggie can't get her death out of her head and the only way to find peace is to once again find a killer.
The narrator was very laid back and easy to understand.
