Be Buried in the Rain
Overview
There are terrible secrets from generations past buried at Maidenwood. Medical student Julie Newcomb has returned to her family's decaying plantation—the site of so many painful childhood memories—to tend to her tyrannical grandmother, felled by a stroke. The fire of malevolence still burns in the cruel, despotic matriarch's eyes—yet, for Julie, a faint spark of redemption and second chances flickers in this hated, haunted place. But her hope—and her life—are seriously threatened by a nightmare reborn . . . and by the grim discovery on the lonely road to Maidenwood of the earth-browned skeletons of a mother and child.
This came to me as a recommendation by my friend Jenn and I really enjoyed it. I liked the flow and I liked the subject matter. The end was a wee anticlimactic and the "hero" was a bit of a jerk. Funny, I just found out today that Barbara Michaels and Elizabeth Peters were the same person! I read an Elizabeth Peters book not too long ago and the male lead was a real jerk too. I wonder if all her men are like that? That could get old fast, but I am anxious to read another one of her books!
I am using this for romantic suspense.
