After aspiring opera singer Tessa loses her voice in a fire, she needs both a place to heal and a way to keep music in her life. She retreats to her aunt's apple orchard in rural North Carolina to collect folk ballads. But amid the autumn splendor of this isolated Appalachian community, she uncovers an unnerving connection between a murder case and a long-ago disappearance. Tessa gets a glimpse into an almost-forgotten world, encounters a corrupt, small-town political dynasty, and finds superstition and prejudice at every turn.
She's also drawn to Zeke, the handsome but enigmatic orchard caretaker, who shows her that mountain justice is neither impartial nor just. But battling a conspiracy of silence, Tessa isn't sure if she can trust him. Yet somewhere in the mists of the Blue Ridge Mountains, evil lurks, and a killer is determined to keep the past where it belongs--dead and buried.
The Sound of Falling
Leaves is a character driven novel written by Lisa Carter. I haven’t read any of her previous work, so I
honestly had no idea what to expect but I’m happy to say that I thoroughly enjoyed
this novel.
I don’t read too
many romantic suspense novels, but this one is one of my favorites for the
premise, the characters and the intrigue. I liked the main characters, Tessa and Jake,
the setting of the book and the twists and turns that held my interest. I thought the pace was a little slow at times
but overall, I have nothing but good things to say about this book which is why
I recommend it to other readers.
I received a copy from
the publisher. All opinions are completely
my own.
