About this ebook
It’s Christmas in Albuquerque; Charlie and her family are ready for a quiet holiday at home. But right away, her hopes for that scenario fade when Charlie’s brother and PI business partner, Ron, brings in two new cases, one of which made national headlines.
Five years earlier, in a tide of media attention and despite public sentiment against her, Tali Donovan was acquitted of killing her two children and then she disappeared from the radar. Now, at the anniversary of the children’s disappearance, their father wants to find his kids. Charlie realizes that the distraught man will not find peace until he knows what really happened. RJP Investigations digs up more than past history as Charlie and Ron work to find the answers.

We have traveled quite a lot and now divide our time between the American Southwest and a place on the Sea of Cortez. For relaxation I love art -- painting and drawing can completely consume me. I also really enjoy cooking, with whatever ingredients I find in whatever country we are in at the moment. We walk every day and love watching and photographing wildlife."

Reviews for Buried Secrets Can Be Murder
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Vacations can be murder by Connie Shelton This the second book in the Charlie Parker mysteries series. In the first book Charlie Parker is an accountant and partner with her brother in their own small private investigations firm looking after the firm’s accounts, taxes etc. In this the second book in the series she seems to have become an investigator in financial matters. While holidaying on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, she takes a helicopter tour where she and the pilot see a body in a particularly inaccessible area of the island. Back at the heliport Charlie gives the pilot her business offering help if he needs it. Of course he does, leading to a holiday romance and some unofficial investigation.Plenty about the romance and the island of Kauai, but not much about the murder mystery,All in all rather disappointing. I hope she will settle into her character that showed so much promise in the first book
