If you love small towns and beautiful mountain settings, you are in for a treat! Nobody Told Me is the sixth book in the Hart’s Ridge mystery series, set in the fictional town by the same name nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
In book one (Hart’s Ridge) you meet Taylor Gray (the only female Sheriff’s Deputy in Hart’s Ridge) and her dysfunctional family consisting of her father, 3 sisters, and her (estranged) mother, Cate who has recently been thrown back into the mix. True to form, (because if you know Kay Bratt there are always dogs, which I love), there are lots of furry friends to make you smile.
Nobody Told me focuses once again on Lucy. Although she thought her troubles were behind her, she feels now like someone from her past may be stalking her and is deliberately trying to sabotage her life. Is someone really out to get her? Or is it her depression and anxiety getting the best of her? Lucy doesn’t like to let anyone “in” to help her, not even her family. Sometimes though, even the strongest of people need someone they can count on.
Taylor continues to investigate her own personal case to try and find the perpetrator on her own because she doesn’t want to disclose the attack to her coworkers. Meanwhile a teen boy (Jarret) that Taylor has taken under her wing disappears, and Taylor’s team leads the investigation to find him.
Like the five preceding books, Nobody Told Me is also loosely based on a real-life crime! Since I am not one to ruin the story by retelling it, I will just leave it there. Nobody Told Me was an excellent, heart pounding, fast read for me, and I highly recommend it! True to form Kay Bratt left us wanting more! I can hardly wait for book 7 in the series!
