The Secrets We Keep Lead to Stories We Tell
After the success of her recent case, Betty Ahern finds herself being hired by her co-workers at the Bell Airplane factory to help them solve problems for them. However, she isn’t sure what she can do for Emmie, who is certain that her grandmother was murdered and didn’t die of natural causes as everyone else assumes. Betty does a little digging and is about to give up when a member of the Polish government in exile, visiting Buffalo, is murdered. When Betty begins to think there might be a connection between the two, she wonders if their deaths are connected. If they are, can she prove it?

I was happy to return to Buffalo in December 1942 to visit with Betty again. This book really brought the time period to life with the little details of life during World War II for those at home. I did have to remind myself of the different time and Betty’s age during some of her interactions with others, especially her parents. Having said that, I did like seeing how the characters are growing, especially her relationships with her parents. I found the beginning of the book slow, I think because Betty needed time to make the connection that would drive the plot, but once she did I was hooked. One red herring wasn’t completely wrapped up, but I was still mostly satisfied with the solution to the mystery. I’m looking forward to visiting with Betty again soon.
