In A Town Full Of Secrets
To most people, men like Mark Cantrell are fine, upstanding pillars of the community, completely beyond reproach. But their killer knows better. They are sinners of the worst kind, and they must burn on
Barton (The Murder Game) tangles a pair of reunited high school sweethearts in a fast-paced, intriguing plot. Eighteen months after Catherine Cantrell's husband, a respected minister, was burned to death before her eyes, Cathy is back in her hometown of Dunmore, Ala., struggling to make a new life for herself and her teenage son. Further gruesome deaths among the clergy send police detective Jackson Perdue, Cathy's first love, on a search for a serial killer. Barton cleverly interweaves the family lives and dark secrets of a range of religious leaders while convincingly portraying Jack and Cathy's slowly reviving love. The unwieldy cast of characters can be difficult to keep track of and several plot threads are left irritatingly unresolved, but the balanced and pleasing mix of romance and suspense will keep readers satisfied and looking forward to sequels.

September 27, 2009: I didn't like this book as well as I did her others. It seemed to me there were way too many characters and I had a hard time keeping them straight. It took me nearly a week to read this book instead of the usual 3 days because it was just too hard to get into . The ending was a shocker because I thought someone else was the killer. Too me this was not one of her better books.

September 04, 2009: The book had more romance than suspense, but still an enjoyable read.
There were many minor characters but nonetheless I was able to keep track of who was who. I would give a 8/10.
