Seeking the truth will force Ruth to confront her own past…but that is the exact thing she’d moved to Templetown to get away from.

The title and cover art brought the word ominous to mind and yet I couldn't resist the intrigue. I started to read and was compelled to keep turning the pages. I wasn't sure if Detective Inspector Ruth Savage was up for her new job in Templetown, a small seaside village but I quickly changed my opinion as the investigation proceeded. This mystery was gripping, engrossing, and riveting reading.

Ann Reid was a new author to me so I quickly explored what else I might be able to read since the book has a (c) 2021. I was quite surprised to discover that "Cold Dark Secrets" appears to be her 1st novel. It didn't read like a novice writer. I didn't find any social media presence so I can only hope she's busy writing and writing and writing. I can't wait to learn what Ann Reid has in store for DI Ruth Savage and Templetown in the future.
