Customer review: ***** Engaging and Entertaining

I had Secrets in the Shadows with me on a recent camping trip. I need to apologize to the friend who joined me as I spent most of the trip entranced by the events and characters of Springsville. Susan writes beautifully and her books are such a pleasure to read! Highly recommend!
