Our Little Secret by Kiersten Mogdlin

 

Cason Glen is a small town where most who live there grew up there as well.  They went to school together, played sports together, partied together and eventually, married each other and had children.  Everyone knows everyone and pretty much everyone's business.  But there are secrets hiding under the surface.

Jude is the town sheriff.  He is married to Michelle and they have one daughter Caroline.  Stephanie is married to Ted and they have twin sons.  But Ted went missing a couple of months ago and Stephanie and the town don't know if he ran off with another woman or if something else happened to him.  Enzo is the town mayor.  His wife was killed a few years back when she interrupted a burglar or at least that's what the police decided.  

Jude gets a late night call that takes him to the lake.  Stephanie reported that coming home from work she saw a car driving into the lake.  That wasn't true but what is true is that the lake holds secrets.  Secrets like a gun used to kill Enzo's wife.  Secrets like bodies that have remained hidden but are about to be revealed.  

This is my first read by this author.  There are lots of twists and turns.  I grew up in a small town like this one where everyone knew everyone else and what they were doing so I could relate to the claustrophobic feeling of a small town.  There are lots of twists and turns, some the reader can predict and others they can't.  This book is recommended for mystery readers.
