REVIEW
Five
times a charm for Barbara Freethy in Angel Bay
By Kim Adams (Honolulu, Hawaii)
GARDEN of SECRETS is
the fifth book in the Angel's Bay series. Yet it can be read as a standalone
story. I was intrigued by the characters that Freethy offered in this
"small town" romance - Charlotte is a minister's daughter who became
an OB/GYN doctor. She returns home after her father's death. Andrew is her high
school boyfriend with whom she had a painful breakup. He is now the minister at
her father's church. Joe is the recently divorced Police Chief. As Charlotte
considers her attraction to both, she finds she has competition from her high
school nemesis, Pamela. Then Charlotte accidently becomes the leading suspect
in the attack on Pamela's sister and the mayor's wife. Looking at what I just
wrote, it seems to lean toward soap operadom. Yet Freethy delivers a charming
story with the independent heroine's yearning for love, flawed heroes seeking
to fulfill that role, and some community angst to stir things up in Angel's
Bay.
