Review of Buried Secrets
Rachel Wigg's novel "Buried Secrets" is set in Gribble-on-Sea, a coastal community. It was a little town where everyone, from the Lord of Gribble to the owner of the local pub, had something to hide. In addition to searching for love, Lord George Gribble is coping with his father's passing and considering whether to disclose to his friends how he supports his family's estate. The only person who is aware of a secret that has the power to permanently alter George's life is his father's childhood friend Archie, who works as an estate gardener for George. As the 40th anniversary draws near, Rose, the owner of the local bar, Sea Shanty, is experiencing nightmares related to an incident that occurred 40 years ago, and she is determined to learn the truth. Following a startling find on the beach, the book really took off. What impact will this have on the residents of Gribble-on-Sea, and how will they respond? Learn more by reading this wonderful book.
All of the characters in the novel were endearing because of their various qualities. George and Bella's pets, Lola and Jinx, were particularly intelligent, which was admirable. I liked how they were given important roles rather than being kept in the background. I could really relate to all of the characters, especially after Archie lost his friend. I shared his grief and became aware of the suffering that those who lose a loved one go through. The character development shone in this area, lending the entire story an immersive quality. The ending was truly unexpected, adding to the book's many mind-blowing moments. It is an excellent recommendation for a fun book to read while curled up.
“Buried Secrets” is a delightful murder mystery novel. From Bella falling in love to revealing a dark past over an old incident, it was an incredible story and a truly fantastic book. You will not even be able to guess the mystery at the end because of the creative suspense that was included. I liked that the characters never felt hollow, and I could easily relate to their decisions. The book's descriptive quality made this possible by expressing how Bella and George cared for each other as friends. It showed, without a doubt, how genuine their friendship was.
I noticed a few mistakes, but they did not interfere with my reading. Aside from that, there was nothing I disliked about the book. I rate "Buried Secrets" five out of five stars overall. It has an excellent plot and was beautifully written. Overall, this is a fantastic read, and I think everyone who appreciates murder mystery books should read this one.
