Description
What Sinister Secrets Lurk in the Shadows of Yesterday?
Natchez, Mississippi—Private Investigator Nate Price and his new wife, Isabelle, need a vacation. Their coworkers generously team up to surprise them with a belated honeymoon...but the happy trip turns sour when Izzy spies her ex-husband, who appears to have taken up his gambling addiction once again.
While the boss is away, Price Investigations remains in the hands of Beth Kirby, a former police officer, and Michael Preston, a former forensic accountant. Hardly a dream team, as Beth resents working with a man who has no experience in his new job.
But Beth and Michael must move past their differences if they hope to uncover the truth behind a beloved Southern preacher's demise. The preacher's widow suspects foul play, despite the evidence indicating suicide.
With tension escalating between these investigators and local law enforcement—and new threats arising on all sides—how will Beth, Michael, and Nate hold on to faith and bring the truth to light?

MAGNOLIA. MOONLIGHT
5By Ellen/OceansideBook 3 in Mary Ellis series SECRETS OF THE SOUTH. We again meet with Nate, and his wife of 2 years. Happily married, trying to make a go of his Private Investigating service. While she is a real estate agent. Doesn't get the big commission checks. Discussing how old her car is, living in a 1 bedroom rental, wanting a honeymoon. When her co- workers, friends, family give them a honeymoon. Sounds perfect, till her ex is spotted, coming out from a casino. While they are on their honeymoon. Why is here, and has gambling become a problem again, and where is wife number 2. Izzy is concerned, maybe he needs help. What about the suicide of the pastor ? The wife hands them a check before they left on honeymoon, saying money wasn't any problem. Death was ruled suicide. Nothing seemed clear about it being a suicide. When Beth finds out there is stealing of the church funds. And checks have wife's signature on them. Beth still not over the reason of having to leave being a police officer. Except to know you don't fall for your boss. Then what's with Nate bringing in someone without experience. Michael was a former forensic accountant. And she is to train him. They mix like oil and water, she always asking, why did you do that. Two murders, two reason, greed and deception. Given book by Net Galley for my honest opinion of which I have given.
