Circle of Vengeance by Ramona RichardsMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
This was an attention keeping, suspenseful dual time story.
Though I did guess some of the revelations correct, there were a few facts revealed which I did not see coming. It was interesting how the past story was from the POV from a participant in the events which led to the murder, and especially how the author pinned the characters struggle to do the right thing while being intertwined in the mess.
Star and Mike’s relationship develops slowly but it is felt realistic and true to the story and series development.
*I listened to the audiobook on Everand.*
Book 1: Burying Daisy Doe

I started making stuff up at 3, writing it down at 7, and selling it at 17. I've written 12 books. The latest two are Tracking Changes: One Editor's Advice to Inspirational Fiction Authors, a collection of essays for novelists, and Burying Daisy Doe, a suspense novel set in a small Southern town. In fact, most of my suspense novels are set in small Southern towns. Murder in the Family is the latest already in print. I have six Love Inspired Suspense novels still available in ebook.
My Mother's Quilts, a devotional based on the quilts I inherited from my mother, is the most recent devotional.
I'm also an editor, with more than 500 publications to my credit, and I'm now the associate publisher for Iron Stream Media. My specialty is fiction, although I've also worked on CD-ROMs, magazines, non-fiction, children’s books, Bibles, and study guides. Lot of publishers have helped my bottom line, such as Thomas Nelson, Barbour, Howard, Harlequin, Ideals, etc.
And, as I say on Twitter (@RamonaRichards): Music nut. Film buff. Usually a fun person to eat a burger with.

About the book:
Twenty-five years ago, a body was discovered in the Turney family barn--and the locals are all too ready to believe that killing blood ran through their veins. Every Turney came under suspicion, their reputations crumbled to pieces, and with no convictions, no one has ever been cleared.
Daughter Jill, now a Chicago lawyer, is ready for this case to be solved and for her broken family to be repaired at last. Who better to find the answers than cold-case P.I. Star Cavanaugh? But as Star begins to dig into generations-old secrets, the killer resurfaces to make sure none of those skeletons leave the closet--no matter what the cost.
As the danger mounts, Star again joins forces with police chief, Mike Luinetti, and begins to uncover truths that the whole town has kept hidden. But becoming the target of the determined killer isn't the way Star wants to find the answers. Now it's a race to solve the case before it becomes a matter of her life or death.
"A well-plotted dual time masterpiece that will keep you turning the pages well into the night."
--Lynette Eason, best-selling, award-winning author of the Extreme Measures series
"A twisting, turning generational story that pits innocence against evil, the past against the present, and the weak against the strong. I can't wait to see what cold case Star is embroiled in next!"
--Jodie Bailey, USA Today best-selling author of Deadly Cargo
