A murder, a lighthouse keeper, a suspicious trooper, an adorable little girl, and a beloved childhood Sunday school teacher. The Keeper’s Secret combines multiple interesting elements. Poor Evie tries to build a good life for her daughter. But when her husband is murdered, Bryce, the local trooper throws her in jail. Thankfully, her second-grade Sunday school teacher Jessica is still in her life and she takes care of little Glynys. Everyone should have someone like Jessica to count on. Evie is innocent, but that means someone else killed her abusive husband. There are tiny clues sprinkled throughout the story, but I didn’t put the pieces together. This story had several great secondary characters. Besides Jessica, the pastor keeps the trooper in line with his tough love. There’s romance woven throughout the story, since Evie and Bryce were in love back in high school, but it’s hard to develop a romance with someone who thinks you’re guilty of murder!
