Loneliness,
and the need to connect. Loneliness, and the fear of connecting. Both
of these phrases go to the heart of Beauty in Hiding.
Both of these phrases are true of so many in our society, so many we
see but often don't notice.
Jack
Rossi is living what he refers to as a solitary life in Nutville in
spite of his many interactions with those at the community pantry and
rec center. His new tenants, Harper Cloud and Red Burns, could not
escape his notice. Harper was gorgeous, but obviously hiding
something. Red's shifting personality often hiding his true self
behind Alzheimer's. All three longed for connection, but only Harper
understood the cost. No
one must know why she is on the run and pretending that this elderly
man in her grandfather. She would, and has, sacrificed her life to
care for and protect him.
Robin
Patchen quickly rose to one of the top slots on my list of favorite
mystery writers with her Hidden Truth
series. Beauty in Hiding
is the second book in her new series, Beauty in Flight,
and it is just as wonderful. I recommend all of Patchen's books to
mystery lovers, especially those who enjoy Colleen Coble, Lynette
Eason, Irene Hannon and Patricia Bradley. I am grateful to have
received a copy of Beauty in Hiding
from the author in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no
obligation to write a positive review, and received no monetary
compensation.
