Book Review: A Secret In Ash Brooke - by Dutch Rhudy
If you enjoy mystery, detective fiction with a little history thrown in, ‘A Secret In Ash Brooke’ should be your next read.
The small town setting depicts both the advantages and disadvantages of communities where people know each other intimately.
I especially liked the small mill town setting where men went off to war and some returned. Where women left the security of their homes (changing women's roles forever) to help in the war efforts and hold their communities together.
Sometimes it takes another perspective to not only notice but unravel secrets that loom large but that are dismissed by ordinary life. Dutch Rhudy’s characters are well suited for the mystery that unfolds in Ash Brooke.
