An absorbing murder mystery filled with romance, suspense, and intrigue, Lovers' Secrets and Revenge is a cozy book to spend your evening with.

The narrative will especially appeal to fans of telenovelas or soap operas, with the constant twists and turns of the plot leaving you asking for more. The characters have defining traits that pop out of the pages. John is one of the more fleshed-out characters, and his romance with Sara was one of my favorite aspects of the book. If you enjoy stories involving romance and crime, this is what you're looking for.
