Has the past come back to haunt the Darkwater Inn? Adelaide Fountaine, general manager, is enthusiastically renovating parts of the Darkwater Inn. Her intentions come to a screeching halt when a skeleton is found behind a makeshift wall - an axe beside it. Something ghastly from the past has come back to haunt the Darkwater Inn. As Adelaide works alongside owner Dimitri Pampalon and Detective Beau Savoie, the two men who have been pursuing her heart, she learns the eerie death has tentacles that reach deep into the seedy past of both the Darkwater Inn and the evil underground of New Orleans. The past and the present collide as the stakes are upped - not only for Adelaide's heart, but for her very life and her father's life as well. The threats are deadly, the coils of evil are tightening around everyone involved, and they are more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined. "Wow, what an exhilarating ride! Unexpected twists, an authentic atmospheric setting, and great characterization make Darkwater Truth an exceptionally fine romantic suspense you won't want to put down until the last page. This is Caroll at the top of her game." Colleen Coble, USA Today bestselling author of the Lavender Tide series "While I hate to say goodbye to Caroll's Darkwater Inn series, I can't think of a better sendoff than Darkwater Truth! A complex suspense plot with historical elements and thrilling turns keeps readers glued to the pages, hardly daring to breathe. So, too, does the culmination of the decision Addy has been struggling with since book one - which man truly holds her heart? Darkwater Truth is a multi-layered story in every way, with richly-drawn characters and a subtle-but-solid brush of faith across the pages. A must-read for readers who love a riveting suspense novel!" - Carrie Schmidt, ReadingIsMySuperPower.org
