Twin sisters separated by the past are reunited by unspeakable crimes in New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton’s throat-clutching novel of suspense…

Trauma victims are not new to medical examiner Faith McIntyre, but this one is different. The unconscious woman clinging to life after a hit and run is FBI agent Macy Crow. What the woman from Quantico was doing in a dark alley after midnight is just one mystery. The other is more unsettling: Macy is Faith’s mirror image—the twin sister she never knew she had.

Faith knew that she was adopted, but now she’s finding that her childhood concealed other secrets. Following the trail of clues Macy left behind, Faith and Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden make a shocking discovery on an isolated country ranch—a burial ground for three women who disappeared thirty years before.

They weren’t the only victims in a killer’s twisted plot. And they won’t be the last.

As the missing pieces of Faith’s and Macy’s dark lives snap into place, Faith is becoming more terrified by what she sees—and by what she must do to save her sister and herself from the past.

I really enjoyed this book and have already requested the next in the series (Hide and Seek)! I loved the idea of twin's who didn't know about each other until their paths cross in an unexpected way many years later. I enjoyed the romance between Faith and Mitchell - it started off as just sex for them, but slowly grows into more. You learn more about Faith than you do about Macy only because Macy is in a coma for a good chunk of the book, but somehow Macy guides Faith into helping solve a decades long missing teens mystery as well as recent murders. They way that Macy and Faith are tied together besided being long separated twins is intense! I cannot wait to read more by Mary Burton and to get more about Macy's life.

When Alma Johansson learns she’s dying, she takes the news surprisingly well—much better than her two grown daughters, Louisa and Michelle. And when Alma starts hinting at a long-kept secret, they are even more caught off guard. Their mother's life was an open book, so what could she possibly have kept from them?
After Alma’s will is read revealing the secret, her last words take on new meaning. They also bring back decades-old memories of a terrible fire on Indigo Hill—a fiery explosion that killed five of their friends. For Louisa, the eldest daughter, those scars are still with her.
Now, with their mother's past out in the open, Louisa and Michelle must confront their own secrets in the present to have any chance at a meaningful future.
Indigo Hill is a darkly funny, bittersweet novel about guilt, love, family, and memory.

I went into this not really knowing what to expect. It was quite the trip through the present and flashbacks while dealing with the grief of losing a parent, finding out a long hidden secret and dealing with the fallout of a tragic event in childhood. I found some of the story to be disjointed and was longing for more about the relationship between Tom and his newly found American family, especially his niece who seems to be drawn to him and seems to have some of the same extra senses as him and I think that needed to be explored a little more. I enjoyed the parts about Tom and his past and the calm he brings to his sisters' lives. The ending seemed abrupt, but at least the epilogue explained a bit of the long past about Alma and her choice to give up her first child for adoption. 

Have you read anything by these authors? What are your thoughts? Any books you would recommend that I try by them?

Also, a big shout out to Thomas Allen & Son for sending me these awesome audiobooks for review. I always appreciate that they send me audiobook format when they can as that seems to be the format I can make work in my life regularly lately! Much love my friends!
