These days, Ellie McLellen spends most of her time researching the family histories of several clients in a small town in Quebec, Canada. Life is finally going well for her once again.
This seasoned genealogist has spent the last few years desperately trying to regain and maintain a sense of normalcy after losing her husband and child in a tragic accident. But then, one day, Ellie rescues a small boy from a horrible fate, the incident is caught on camera, and the peaceful existence she strived for is shattered.
Diane Cooper, an overly zealous reporter looking for a story that will make her career recognizes Ellie from the photograph taken of her and the boy; she will stop at nothing to get the scoop. Unfortunately for Diane, Ellie is just as determined to see that she doesn't get it.
Family Secrets: Ellie McLellen Genealogy Mystery Book 1 by Beth Farrar takes the reader through all of the machinations that Ellie has confronted, thanks to the unscrupulous tabloid reporter. Ellie must use all her research skills to protect her privacy and prevent the destruction of the only family she has left once she uncovers a secret that could destroy both.
Suppose you are looking for an intriguing mystery with a dollop of romance, a sprinkling of pathos for Ellie, and a heaping dose of disdain for the sensational headline-mongering reporter Diane. In that case, I highly recommend Family Secrets. May this be the first in a long series of books to follow!
