REVIEW:

Dear Friends,

Dark Current Reckoning by Ashley Farley is book three of The Sutherlin Files. This book kept me returning to read just one more page. I’ve been rather busy due to life circumstances lately, but I found myself wanting more. I thought this was the last book in the series. I was stunned at the end and ready to fire off a letter to plead for book number four. There were too many strings that weren’t tied. Imagine my surprise when I finally figured out there is a book four coming. All of this was to say, if you haven’t started The Sutherlin Files yet, HURRY UP! It is too good to miss and you will have time to read the first three before the next and probably final book comes out.

The characters in this book come alive. The scoundrels and all of the good guys. From Lane Sutherlin to the Old Guard. I can’t wait until this series is all tied up like a pretty bow. I want to see who will be held in prison for the rest of their lives and who will talk a pretty story and get off. I’m going to miss these characters!

I think this is one of the best series that Ashley Farley has written yet. She’s hit it out of the park. I’ve read most of her series and liked every single one of them. This one is just over the top. The writing is great, the characters, the small town and I could go on and on. I just think the mystery, suspense and the angst are just a notch better. There are murders to be solved and love lives to be sorted and health problems and old relationships to be healed.

If you love a great series, characters, setting and best of all a storyline that will draw you in and keep you engaged, then this is a series you want to read! It is full of mystery and suspense. I can’t wait for book four. Until next time, Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

Lane Sutherlin has dragged Tidewell’s darkest secrets into the light—except the one still poisoning its future. A powerful faction of the Old Guard, including Lane’s own stepfather, is quietly orchestrating a land grab that will wipe out Tidewell’s most historic neighborhood and replace it with a waterfront casino. But before Lane can stop them, a far more personal truth resurfaces.

New evidence emerges about the boat accident that killed her brother nineteen years ago, forcing Lane to confront the lies that shaped her life and the man who buried them. Sheriff Boone didn’t just fail her—he hid the truth to protect one of Tidewell’s most privileged sons. And the boy who “rescued” her that night wasn’t a savior at all.

As Lane digs deeper, the Old Guard closes ranks, desperate to silence her before she exposes their final, most dangerous secret. And complicating everything is Briggs—the town’s embattled commonwealth’s attorney—whose feelings for Lane are getting harder to deny, even as the pressure threatens to break them apart.

With enemies closing in, a community on the brink, and the past demanding justice, Lane must decide what she’s willing to risk to finish what she started. Tidewell is running out of time.

And this time, the reckoning is hers.
