Spent Identity

By Marlene M. Bell

Book Overview

A body, a disappearance, just another hot summer in upstate New York.

It's July when antiquities appraiser Annalisse Drury reaches her family's small-town farm to consult with the trusted aunt who raised her. She learns that her beloved homestead--the one she expects to inherit--is for sale. While Annalisse reels at the betrayal and her shattered dreams, the Walker Farm ranch manager discovers a corpse in the barn. Officials close the suspected murder scene, and Annalisse seeks refuge with her aunt at Alec Zavos's rural estate in New York's Catskill Mountains.

Then Aunt Kate vanishes.

Annalisse solicits the help of Greek tycoon, Alec Zavos, even though their rocky romance has dissolved into routine separation. What began as hope on Crete nine months ago has eaten away at Annalisse's hope for a future with him.

In Spent Identity, Annalisse and Alec come together for the second time and find themselves in the center of not one mystery, but several. Where is Kate, and why sell her farm now? Is the dead man a coincidence or a clue to the aunt's disappearance? John Doe's identity may hold needed answers to solve the puzzle before Kate's unstable health issues make her rescue impossible. The clock ticks, and a vengeful murderer is in charge...

A riveting read

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK #iReadBookTours Spent Identity is book 2 in the Annalisse Series by Marlene M. Bell. Annalisse is at it again as she makes a trip from the big city to the farm, where things are cozier, and she liked spending time with her aunt. But this time around, Annalisse is shocked that a dead body turns up in her aunts barn. Who could it be and who is responsible for the murder of this person. Annalisse was also shocked to find that her aunt’s son is selling the farm. But how can that be? What is the story behind selling the farm and who is this person in their barn. Join the journey as Annalisse, again finds herself wrapped up in another murder case, and trying to find out how to keep her aunts farm. But then when her aunt went missing, this was the main case for Annalisse. What on earth was happening? As each issue hit Kate head on, I think her attitude and the way she dealt with each of these things was admirable, and I so much enjoyed tagging along with she and to find out the guilty one. I couldn’t put this fast pace Murder mystery/suspense/thriller down once I started reading it. The plot is so intense, and with the twists and turns throughout the book it’s difficult to figure out who is responsible for everything going on, so I had to read on to see who the bad person was. I’m giving Spent Identy Four Stars. If you enjoy sudpense/thrillers and a little mystery added in, you don’t want to miss this one! I’m giving Spent Identity Five Stars!
