Review: Secrets You Can't Keep (Vera Boyett #3) by Debra Webb

  

From USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb comes crime analyst Vera Boyett’s next case—a triple homicide that tears a small town apart…and an accident that could do worse to her family.

A cabin in the woods. Three dead, one in critical condition. Property owned by not just any Tennessee local, but one of the richest men in the country.

Vera Boyett isn’t quite sure what it means. But that’s why Sheriff Gray “Bent” Benton called to figure it out. Criminal analysis is what she does best. Even when the town is in panicked shambles, even when the case is more delicate than most…and even when it’s not the only case on her plate.

Vera’s family is caught in a deadly mess of its own. And while her pregnant sister seems an unlikely culprit, each new detail seems to point to her guilt. Desperate to protect her, Vera vows to find out what really happened.

As evidence emerges in both cases, Vera and Bent work to unravel a dangerous web of secrets to get to the truth. But their investigations reveal more than they ever expected…

What I thought about Secrets You Can't Keep 

Vera Boyett and her sisters are back -- with a new case to solve for Vera, and new family drama that could have devastating consequences in this third book in the series.

Vera is investigating a triple homicide in this book along with Sheriff Gray Benton. Things just aren't adding up and it will take both of these law enforcement officers to find the killers. Meanwhile, Vera's pregnant sister has a crisis of her own, when her mean mother-in-law is discovered dead from a fall. Or was it a push? Vera will need to figure it out to protect her sister.

I really like this series. Vera and Bent make a great couple, even though Vera can sometimes go off on her own. As is with this genre, things get wrapped up in the final pages when that key piece of evidence falls into place. Turns out there are some secrets that need revealing.

Overall, a nice addition to this terrific series.
