Where Truth Lies (The Secrets of Stoneley, #6) Reviews
-
Honestly this book would be a 4 star if I didn't read 5 other books in this series before this that were so amazingly great so this paled in comparison. A little disappointed it was wrapped up so quickly and to me, I still have questions!! The person I suspected was the murderer so no surprise there. Overall, a great series! This last book just wrapped up too quickly & the suspense didn't even start until middle to end of this one.

I enjoyed this book but it was not as surprising as the previous in the series. It didn't have the suspense and Miranda seemed to overcome her years of panic attacks with little effort.

This is kind of a weird book.

Under tremendous strain from all the turmoil that has found her family, Miranda Blanchard’s panic attacks have worsened. It scares her when she thinks she hears her mother singing, when she knows it’s impossible. Her fear is that she’s losing her mind like they said her mother had. So she digs deep for the courage to return to the mental health support group sponsored by her Church. Leading the group is the new pastor, Reverend Greg Brown; they’d met the week before at a wedding. Greg wonders about the haunting and lovely Miranda. And as they begin to get to know each other, Miranda leans on Greg and draws on his strength. The tension in Blanchard Manor reaches its peak, with more clues that Miranda’s mother is truly alive and with increased threats on the family. And as the mysteries become answered, Greg is left wondering if Miranda will still need him.
This was a perfect ending to the mysteries of the Blanchard family, tying up all the loose ends from the previous books. This one too was a perfect balance of the two plot lines; the series plot of the mystery of Trudy and the growing relationship between Greg and Miranda. I enjoyed watching Miranda find her inner strength through Greg’s support. The two complete each other nicely. It’s almost a shame to say goodbye to this family; the Blanchards have been a dynamic group. I’m satisfied with the resolution of the ongoing mystery and I’m very pleased with Miranda and Greg’s HEA. The epilogue was a lovely way to show how all the romances had turned out -
It's been a while since I've read the conclusion of the Secrets of Stoneley 6-book series. Although I did enjoy some of the other books in the series more, I did love the way Lynn Bulock finished it off with an epilogue that appreciated all the different characters that we've grown to love from each of their own stories in finding love and unravelling pieces of the mystery surrounding their long-lost mother.
I did, however, found the romance lacking. I had hoped for some more scenes between Miranda and Greg. I loved the way he helped her with her panic attacks and was a steady presence when things got really out of hand. It just wasn't as...well, romantic as I had hoped for.
The mystery was well-written. I thoroughly appreciated how 6 ladies had to get together to discuss the intricate details of what to reveal for each book, and the culprit at hand for the crazy things that stirred the Blanchard family in the last several months was rather surprising (at least, the first time around that I read this book).
Overall, it was a nice ending, and still memorable even after years since I've touched this book last. -
There is always a happiness and sadness when finishing a series. It is good to see how everything comes together but also you are leaving people and places that you get to know in previous books.
In this final book we finally see the oldest sister, Miranda, have a happy ending. She has taken on the fear of leaving her home and when her panic attacks get so bad she is hearing things, she goes back to her group at church for help.
Pastor Gregory Brown met Miranda at a wedding and can't get her out of his thoughts. When he goes into the support group he started leading he can't believe she is there.
Through the family issues such as grandfather Howard and other crisis areas, Greg and Miranda spend more and more time together.
This books ties together who the murderer is, what happened to their Mother Trudy, and of course how the relationship ends up for Miranda and Greg.
Great series. -
This was a good book and a good end to the series. Some really chilling moments. The ending was very satisfying and all the loose ends were tied up so you weren't left wondering about anything.

Book 6 The Secrets of Stoneley. Loved this series!!!
-
Very good series, but you almost need a spreadsheet to keep who goes with whom. Final outcome fooled me.
-
I enjoy reading books from this author, she makes the book suspenseful.
-
finally, got to end the series had to search used bookstores to find books, but I did. Must it was who I suspected for most of the story
-
It was slow but not as exciting as I would like it to be.
