Secrets Series

Her job is going nowhere. Her marriage is on the rocks. She's at a crossroads in her life and doesn't know what to do.   When Kathy Klein's estranged mother dies, the chance to put time and distance from her problems is irresistable. She leaves her Vancouver home and heads to the small South Saskatchewan town she left two decades earlier, planning to stay just long enough to dispose of her mother's personal belongings. Then she discovers she is the rightful heir to the unexpectedly large property, but she'll have to fight a powerful cult to claim it. Best friend and successful lawyer Penny Meier helps with the legal entanglements, but it will still take time.    As Kathy settles into the old house long-repressed memories begin to surface. They're not happy ones. Pillerton is a tangled knot of evil secrets, and the house she grew up in is the center of the knot.   She escaped once. It may be too late to escape again.

A tempting mission could connect Kathy with her birth father…or get her killed.   When a decades-old packet of letters surfaces, Kathy Klein discovers her father wasn't who she thought he was, and he may still be alive. Although she recognizes it's probably a hopeless quest, she has no choice but to act. She sets out for a remote area of northwestern British Columbia to find her biological family.   There, Kathy meets Astrid Ingebritson. They have a lot in common: Kathy escaped a murderous cult, and Astrid fell prey to a "gentleman's club" with a very dark history. Both the cult and the club have been wiped out so asking a few questions can't hurt, or so they think. But there are those who will stop at nothing, not even murder, to keep Kathy from learning the truth.   When the quest takes Kathy and Astrid up Bear Mountain, are they delivering themselves into the hands of the serial killers?   ※ ※ ※   The Bear Mountain Secret follows Five-Star Rated The Pillerton Secret and The Dark River Secret. If you like stories with danger and intrigue, you'll love the latest installment in Gayle Siebert's page-turning series.

She's determined to start over. But launching a new venture could be a fatal mistake…    Kathy Klein is pinning her hopes for a brighter future on the mountain lodge she's just inherited. Desperate to make her business and marriage work, she brushes off dire warnings from the local elders of a malevolent spirit lurking in the woods. When her spooked staff and selfish husband abandon her, she thinks things can't get worse. Then the grisly murders begin.   Cut off from the world by an avalanche, Kathy and her best friend Astrid Ingebritson struggle to protect guests from a gruesome killer free to gut them one by one. And as suspicion of the culprit's identity spreads among the survivors, Kathy's idyllic resort seems doomed to become a failure.   The Spirit Bear Secret is the fourth standalone novel in the spine-tingling Secrets thriller series.

When her prominent family falls from grace, a new life in a new town could be Astrid's salvation.
