Detective Inspector Robyn Carter is back on the scene when spa manager Miles Ashbrook is found dead in a sauna. It is assumed that it is because of a heart attack. She is pulled off the case by her superior. She then turns her cousin Ross, a private investigator, onto it as she believes that it was not a simple heart attack and that foul play was involved. Then there are other murders with an apparent connection. She is on that case now.

Secrets of the Dead is a fast-paced thriller as Robyn races to stop this killer, because, as his pattern is identified, there are other people that will die. I often felt as if I were part of Robyn's team in trying to identify the killer. Carol Wyer definitely kept me entertained. Now, I am gladly onto Book 3 in this excellent series, as I purchased the entire set.
