Promise Not to Tell by Jayne Ann Krentz

Someone is killing the survivors of an old cult.  The building was burned down but a courageous cop saved the children.  Now the children are dying...

Berkley and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published January 2nd.

When a beautiful young woman comes into their detective agency and tells them the woman who died by jumping from a cliff in the San Juan Islands didn't commit suicide, she was scared and running from danger.  She was from the children in the barn and she was doing a series of paintings.  The last one she painted she did it on her cabin wall.  She burned the cabin before her jump.

The reason they listen to her is because the main PI is another survivor from the cult deaths.  He is intrigued by her story.  Every survivor believes the man that charmed them into following him did not really die in a boat fire.  Is he back?  What does he want?

There are a lot of threads that need to be tied before they manage to get to the truth.  Virginia has found love and she's the next target.  She'll need her PI before they are done with the investigation.

The bad news is that the original scoundrel is still alive.  There will be another in this series I'm sure.  

This author always writes an exciting novel with lot of suspense and tension.  Once I start reading, I keep reading until the book is done.  If you haven't tasted her work yet, do.  You won't regret it.
