Secret Past - Anna Sugg
3 Stars (a good read) Review by Cassandra Graham
Blurb:
Review: "It was really intriguing and likeable. It had complex and interesting characters and a story from her grandmother's past that connects with hers and a Tommy gun was also thrown in the mix. You liked Sarah and the journey she went on when she went on her trip minus her better half. The characters you liked, you really liked and there were a few that needed to be despised and they were. Give it a chance you might be very surprised."

5 Stars: Loved this story from beginning to end.

4 Stars: There are a lot of twists and turns in this story of starting over, and discovering hidden family secrets.

5 Stars: The action and suspense in "Secret Past" begins as soon as a Double Eagle gold coin minted in 1933 is mentioned in the Prologue. Two generations later Sarah Shapiro stumbles upon the famed coin as she searches her grandmother's abandoned and dilapidated farm house in Tennessee and discovers a metal box and a Tommy gun buried beneath the wooden floor. The contents of the metal box reveal that her grandmother took a fantastic secret to her grave. I found myself breathless and turning the pages almost before I read to the bottom!!!! "Secret Past" is the best mystery I've read in quite some time.

5 Stars: Secret Past was one book I didn't won't to put down until I finished. I love how Anna intertwined the past
with the presents. The people were exciting and took a hold of you. Sarah was a strong-willed and determined woman who took control of her life and was much happier for it. And Ketch was just as determined
to make her a part of his. I loved this story and will keep this book in my library always.
