Publisher's summary

In the second installment of Patricia Raybon’s critically acclaimed mystery series, amateur detective Annalee Spain races the clock to solve the murder of a handsome young pilot before she is framed for the crime―and before his dashing twin falls head over heels for her, tempting her promised heart.

On a cold spring night in 1924, Annalee Spain offers her new fancy lace handkerchief―a gift from her pastor boyfriend Jack Blake―to a young woman crying in a Denver public library. But later that night, when police find the handkerchief next to the body of the young woman’s murdered husband, Annalee becomes the number one suspect, and her panic doubles when she learns that Jack has gone missing.

With just days to solve the murder before the city’s Klan-run police frame her for the crime, Annalee finds herself hunting for clues in the Colorado mountain town of Estes Park. She questions the victim’s wife and her uncle, a wealthy Denver banker, at their mountain lodge, desperate for leads. Instead, she finds a household full of suspects and even more burning questions. Who keeps threatening her, why can’t she find Jack, and will a dangerous flirtation be her undoing? Her answers plumb the depths of the human heart, including her own, exploring long-buried secrets, family lies, even city politics―all of which could cost the young detective her fledgling love . . . and perhaps even her life.

Bears witness to a time in history

I love these stories of fiction as Patricia Raybon tells them because the stories are not only filled with twists and turns of intrigue, what I appreciate even more is that they also bear witness to the way it was in a very matter of fact way.
Double the Lies and All That Is Secret are fiction to be sure, and both incorporate accurate historical and geographic references of the time time period portrayed and Colorado specifically. For those who live in or know well those spaces, I think these books or more meaningful.
Additionally, for some, they’d have no idea of those things that history leaves out as though they never happened. These books are a history lesson of sorts.

Takes you on a journey!

Loved it! Little snippets that hint toward a sequel. Can't wait to see if the sequel goes where I think it will go.🤗

FANTASTIC!!!!

I love mystery and suspense but I hate porn,horror the questionable morals that come with them. Annalee Spain is a breath of fresh air. She has honest struggles like it's all but realizes that's because she is human. The historical touches about the 1900s , the kkk , the racial lines and more had me listening to chapter after chapter not ready for it to end.

Writing was stiff; audio made it worse!

The writing was quite stiff and made the lead character in particular not believable or relatable. The performance was also stiff, making it difficult to emerse into the story.
