George Lafrance left behind many secrets when he passed away...mainly secrets regarding a grandson he had that no one knew anything about.  Roxanne St-Claire knew sweet George to be a compassionate man, but on the very day they laid him to rest, the police inform her that his death is a homicide.  Stunned, she couldn’t believe someone would try to kill him.

Philippe Lafrance is a reclusive, well-known mystery writer whose world is flipped when he finds out that a grandfather who he never knew has died.  He didn’t understand why his family kept his grandfather secret but after seeking answers, he discovers deep ugly secrets that everyone wants to keep hidden.  Those secrets happened to be the reason the killer ended George’s life, and the life of Philippe’s father before that.

Thrown together in a whirlwind of events, Philippe and Roxanne must fight their mutual attraction to find the killer.  Each step they take leads them closer to their goal but the more information Philippe uncovers, the closer he comes to being the killer’s next target.  Will these two be able to survive these deadly secrets?

From the beginning, Leeann Burke draws her readers in with a gripping suspense that leaves you breathless.  I found myself picking out suspects and trying to determine the identity of the killer, but the author left me surprised in the end. DEADLY SECRETS is a fabulous book that is perfect to curl up with on a lazy afternoon.  Definitely a recommended read!
