In Nobody Told Me, the sixth book in the Hart's Ridge small-town mystery series by Kay Bratt, Deputy Taylor Gray is called upon to investigate the sudden disappearance of a beloved young man. With time running out, she races against the clock to uncover the truth and bring him home safely.

Meanwhile, Lucy Gray is determined to start anew, build a stable life for her son, and prove that she's not defined by her past. But as she sets out on a path of self-discovery, she realizes that the journey isn't as straightforward as she thought it would be.

As the mystery unfolds, readers will be drawn into the tight-knit community of Hart's Ridge, where even the most seemingly perfect towns have their secrets. With Bratt's signature style of masterful storytelling, Nobody Told Me is a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

If you're a fan of small-town mysteries with well-drawn characters and an engrossing plot, then you won't want to miss Nobody Told Me, the latest installment in the Hart's Ridge series.

Nobody Told Me is book six of the new Hart's Ridge small-town mystery series, written by Kay Bratt, million-copy best-selling author of Wish Me Home and True to Me.


My thoughts about Nobody Told Me ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First lines—"Lucy kept her eyes on the kayak in front of her, her attention barely wavering as her sisteralong with her beloved dog, Diesel, perched on the frontguided them through the creek with a confidence that spoke of practice."

Nobody Told Me is another exciting installment of the Hart's Ridge series. Not only is there a case for Deputy Taylor to solve—this one hitting close to home for her—but then Lucy has her own drama to deal with. It someone stalking her.... or is her imagination just playing tricks on her?

In my opinion, book six has a more intense feel to it than the previous stories. There is definitely something sinister going on and I was on the edge of my seat several times, hoping that every one was going to be okay. And then there was the unexpected twist to wrap it all up. 

I love this series and am always anxiously waiting for the next installment. And then I devour it! These are stories you don't want to miss. I know you'll look forward to them, just like I do. I highly recommend the whole series. Hello, Goodbye, book #7, is coming out on November 16th!  

I received an ARC of Nobody Told Me from the author and this is my honest opinion.
