Conclusion of Roman's Search for Her Family Secrets

Doctor Rowan Dupont is now in charge of the family undertaking business and ably assisted by her friend Charlotte. Life is calm at the moment. She and Police Chief Billy Brannigan have established what she hopes will be a permanent relationship, but fears that her family background will never let her have a normal life because the serial killer Julian Addington is still out there. Much as she wants it, she feels she can’t lead a normal life and plan for the future until his menace is removed.

This is the third book in the Undertaker’s Daughter Series, and it wraps up Roman's search for her family secrets in an exciting conclusion. I loved the tension between Rowan and Billy’s blossoming romance and the darkness of Roman's family background.

The action is fast paced. I found it hard to put the book down. Although the book alternates between the darkness of the serial killer and the normality of family life, I found the ending very dark and chilling. The suspense is non-stop with deaths of people close to Rowan, threats, and warnings.

The conclusion was very satisfying. It pulled together all the threads in story and was quite a surprise. I admit the solution to the mystery that haunted Roman's mother was rather darker than I expected, but I thought the author did a good job making all the secrets and murders make sense.

I received this book from Harlequin for this review.
