Review: Gone to Her Grave - Melinda Leigh







Gone to Her Grave (Rogue River, #2)

Review: Gone to Her Grave - Book #2 Rogue River Series - Melinda Leigh - October 2014

So this seems to be another series I have read backward as I had previously read Books #3 and #4 and now this is Book #2. The good thing about this series is that they can be read as a standalone and at the same time they do connect. As I had read the later books, some of the storyline in Book #2 I already knew the answers too and in other places, it was good to get some background information. If you love mysteries then Melinda Leigh is an author to discover as she not only writes smalltown set mysteries but she has a sense of community and family despite the dysfunctionality of some of the families. In Rogue River, we have Carly - who is a social worker and is currently separated to husband Seth who is a police officer. Carly has moved home after her father who was the sheriff died of a heart attack which in later books was revealed to be something of a more sinister nature. In Book #2 we have Carly supporting a couple of families whose lives have been ruined due to the O'Rourke resort project which is featured prominently throughout the whole series. The Rogue River series follows a pattern of drug overdoses that Seth is looking at and Carly trying to support the kids affected and then Seth also not respecting Carly's job as he wants to protect her, but come on Seth - we don't live in the 1950s and Carly's job is just as important, maybe even more so than yours as she deals with the younger generation and they're alive still. The other great thing about the Rogue River series is that they are quick reads and hit the spot nicely if you aren't wanting to sit and concentrate on a longer novel.
