Happy Release Day!
Congrats Kay
on the release today of
Every Little Thing!
Published May 5, 2025 by Red Thread Publishing Group
A fairytale wedding in Mexico.
Everything is supposed to be perfect.
What could possibly go wrong?
When Taylor Gray and her family travel to Cabo San Lucas to celebrate a beachside wedding, it’s supposed to be a time of joy and reconnection. But the morning after the celebration, the bride is missing—and the only clues are discarded champagne glasses at the edge of a private plunge pool, and a trail gone cold in the sweltering sun.
Back home, Taylor’s sister Lucy is on her own journey—wandering the country on what she calls her "lost highway," trying to outrun the memories that haunt her and the voices she can't seem to silence. But the further she runs, the more the road seems to lead her right back to the very things she's trying to forget.
As Taylor works with local authorities and unravels a tangled web of secrets in paradise, Lucy begins to confront her past—and consider whether the path to healing might not be about escape, but finally facing the truth.
From the author of Hart’s Ridge comes a gripping twelfth installment that blends suspense, family, and heart in a story that proves every little thing matters—especially when everything is on the line.
Every Little Thing is book twelve of the bestselling Hart's Ridge small-town mystery series, written by Kay Bratt, million-copy best-selling author.
My thoughts about Every Little Thing ~~
(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—"'Relax, said the night man, we are programmed to receive. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave,' Sam sang softly into Taylor's ear."
Kay Bratt has done it again! This installment of her Hart's Ridge series blew me away.
We've got two story lines going on here. First, there is the beautiful destination wedding that we become a part of, but you know since Taylor is there there is going to be a crime to solve. So along with all the loveliness of a wedding, we also get the drama and suspense that only Taylor can provide. And then we have Lucy's storyline. Poor Lucy, will anything ever work out in her life? She, and we, take a journey back to her past to try to make things right.
The back and forth kept me enthralled and I devoured this story once I got it into my hands. I love this whole series and am always excited when the author drops a new one. I love all of the installments but this one just might be one of my favorites.
I received an ARC of Every Little Thing from the author and this is my honest opinion.
