Ashton Corners Book Club
Mysteries by Erika Chase
They say,
there’s no such thing as a deep dark secret. Someone always tells. But I don’t believe that’s true. I have many
a secret tucked away, deep down inside, and they are never seeing the light of
day. It's a matter of trust and honor.
Way back in second grade, Tessa Burger told me who she’d seen stepping out
with old Miz Dolly, and I never did share that with a soul. Not that it matters
now. Miz Dolly, bless her soul, passed many years ago and she never did
remarry. But I still won’t tell.
I think I
collected the most secrets though when I was a freshman in high school. That’s
when all the gals like to gossip and make like they know everything that's going on. I
probably told my share, but they originated with me. They weren’t second-hand information I was passing
along.
Sometimes,
secrets can end up being buried so long, that evil starts sprouting up. That
can lead to lives being torn apart, betrayal, and even murder. It seems that
whenever there’s a body, there’s also someone with a secret.
Now, I have
a new secret and the only person I’ve shared it with is Bob Miller, for reasons
that will become quite clear if you read Cover Story. This is a good secret, I’m
happy to say and that’s the best kind. And when it’s time, I’ll be delighted to
share it with everyone. Enough with the murder and mayhem!
Are you carrying someone’s secret with you? Can you tell…or is it still a secret?

Just got read and buried to read next week. Would love to win this one to continue the series
ReplyDeleteOh, I still keep a few secrets, and I totally agree that it is a matter of trust and honor. Thinking about this takes me back to childhood when we would talk so earnestly in hushed tones and pinky swear and cross fingers and hope to die over the nig secrets. Ah, good times.

I need to put your series on my list to read.
ReplyDeleteDon't enter me, but this is a good series if you haven't already read it yet.
ReplyDelete~Dru Ann
This looks like a good series
ReplyDeleteI have been told secrets and not told them to any one else, because it is just the best thing to do. Looking forward to reading this series.
ReplyDeleteWaiting to find the secret!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any good secrets. Almost no one can keep a secret, not even the person who tells you their secret!! They can't even keep it in!!

I really enjoy this series. I think the only true secrets are the ones that no one ever knows.
ReplyDeleteI am still keeping secrets. Mostly because I really don't remember the secrets anymore. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun series! I'm looking forward to reading this newest installment. As for secrets, we all have at least one or two, don't we? But I'll never tell . . .
ReplyDeleteWould love to win, thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I know any secrets, but that's the good thing about me, I have a poor memory so if I'm told a secret I immediately forget it. LOL. Actually I'm, not a believer in secrets, I find secrets usually cause more problems than if it is out in the open.
ReplyDeletemomzillasteel@gmail.com
love these books, can't wait for the next one
ReplyDeleteI've got some secrets and there are others who have told me secrets. The bad thing is my mom always could (and still can) tell when I'm keeping one and then she usually pesters me until I tell her. So she knows pretty much any that I know, but she's really good about making sure it doesn't go any farther (or back to the person who told me the secret in the first place). Thank you for the giveaway. robbfan141729@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThe secrets I know are held close to my heart. They are for me alone to know and never divulge. Wonderful series. thanks. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI can keep secrets forever. No one knows this about me so I am completely trustworthy. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI don't keep any big secrets, but it never hurts to keep a few special ones.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people's secrets.People know they can trust me.I can't say it is always an easy burden.
ReplyDeleteI'm very good at keeping secretes. I'd love to start reading this series!
ReplyDeleteThis series has been on my wish list for a while, I think its time to start reading it !

I'm very good at keeping secrets
ReplyDeleteYou can trust me with your secrets. This sounds like a good book, the cover is lovely.

If someone trusts me and asks me not to repeat something, I won't. But it's a burden I would rather not have.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the drawing.

Don't ever tell me a secret! I have to be the worst secret keeper in the world!
ReplyDeleteYou ask --do I have any secrets? Well, yes I do. But they wouldn't be secrets if I told them. But would love to share the secrets in these books. Have the first one ready to read right now. Bring on some more!! Ronnalord(at)msn(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI keep secrets. No one would trust me if I told them.

It's no secret that the first two books I read in this series were great.

love this series!!
ReplyDeletethank you for the giveaway!!!
Secrets can be a tricky business.
ReplyDeletelibbydodd at comcast dot net
If someone tells me a secret, I keep it a secret. If they wanted everyone to know, they would have told it to everyone. This sounds like a great series!
ReplyDeleteThis series is in my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of secrets I keep. Everyone wants to tell me theirs..
ReplyDeleteKjohnson952@yahoo.com
Love this series! I get told a lot of secrets for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI can't say if I have any real secrets, they are a secret!
ReplyDeleteElaineE246(at)msn(dot)com
This series has been on my TBR list. I know I'm just going to love it! I don't harbor any deep, dark secrets. :)
ReplyDeletebrookeb811 at gmail dot com
One of my favorite series! I get told a lot of secrets, I think it's because they know I will forget it! Terpsnmbr1@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteDeep dark secrets can make for a good mystery. Thanks for the chance to win this one.

I have a few secrets..will take them to my grave. Out of loyalty, I hold them close to my heart.
ReplyDeletethe3beersus@yahoo.com
I don't really have any secrets. If I did, I wouldn't tell you anyway. lkish77123 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Ms. Chase's cozy series...I should really read the first one. So many books, so little time! Thank you for the chance to win. And...nope...no secrets here...my life is an open book.

ReplyDeleteOops Vtcozy@yahoo.com SusanStokes above Comment;)
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any secrets. I can keep one, if necessary, but with me, it's pretty much what you see is what you get. ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh, I know a lot of secrets. People seem to like confiding in me. But I will never tell what they are. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like I should hang my shingle out front - the way people seem to tell me their woes, I should be a psychologist...or a bartender! Either way, mum's the word from me! *zipping my lips & tossing the key over my shoulder*
ReplyDeleteNo secrets for me. Or if I have any, they are all forgotten, ll.
ReplyDeleteReceiving any of these books would be awesome!!
