Sins of the Past by Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey and Lynette Eason

Secrets and lies. Danger that will never go away. Sins of the Past is a collection of three novellas by well known authors where the past will not stay buried.

The first novella is Missing by Dee Henderson, A Wyoming sheriff is called to Chicago when his elderly mother goes missing from her retirement community. Paired with a savvy Chicago cop, the two soon launch into a race against the clock when they realize something dark may lie at the heart of the disappearance.

In Shadowed by Dani Pettrey, adventure, romance, and danger collide when a young Alaskan fisherman nets the body of a Russian open water swimming competitor. Another swimmer, who'd been the dead woman's roommate years ago, is pulled into the search for answers as it grows more and more clear that something sinister is at play.

The final novella is Blackout by Lynette Eason. A young woman once implicated in a robbery gone wrong finds herself at risk years later when the real culprit is up for parole. The loot taken that night has never been found and he believes she knows where it's hidden--only her memory of that night has always been unreliable. Can she remember enough to find her way to safety?

This was a great collections of novellas. Since each piece is short, the plot and the action moves quickly and pulls you in. But then you don't have to wait too long for things to come to a nice and satisfactory conclusion. While each story is a romantic suspense, each authors unique style makes each story very different from the other one. This would be a great vacation or beach read for the summer.
