The Shop On Hidden Lane
By Jayne Ann Krentz
Book Review by Ariella Moon
Readers will be hooked by page one of The Shop On Hidden Lane. Jayne Ann Krentz spins an engaging mystery centered around a generations-long feud and secret pact between the Harper and Wells families.
Sophy Harper’s paranormal talents have freaked out more than one potential boyfriend. But her psychic talent is exactly what rival Luke Wells needs to find his uncle and Sophy’s aunt when Deke Wells and Bea Harper go missing. Their disappearance may be connected to the two families’ agreement to safeguard certain dangerous information.
The banter between Sophy and Luke, and their amusing inner dialogues, kept me smiling and enjoying every charged page. Krentz seamlessly weaves beloved tropes— forced proximity and enemies to lovers—into Sophy and Luke’s investigation.
One murder has already occurred. Not knowing if Deke and Bea are still alive, Luke and Sophy follow the psychic and physical evidence into a little-known vortex. A suspicious art colony within the vortex may be hiding a dangerous secret related to the pact—and the missing couple.
