Lucy Gray doesn't always start trouble, but it's sure to be there when she arrives. This time, when she runs from her hometown, she's determined to undo her biggest mistake yet and finally hits some good luck. But her sister, Taylor, has always told her that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. This time, she might be right.
Deputy Taylor Gray grew up wanting to solve crime, but she never dreamed of taking on a case that could change her family forever, either bringing them together in a healthier dynamic or shattering any hope of ever fixing the many fractures within. With this one, there's no other option—she will get to the truth.
The Hart's Ridge series features Deputy Taylor Gray, a young woman carrying the world on her shoulders as she does her best to solve mysteries and piece her fractured family back together.
Lucy in the Sky is book two of the new Hart's Ridge small-town mystery series, written by Kay Bratt, million-copy best-selling author of Wish Me Home and True to Me.

Diamonds Aren't Always What They Seem. Once again, Bratt - in a bit of a departure from her "normal" books, at least the later ones before this series I am most familiar with - manages to craft a compelling tale of a broken family in small town rural Georgia (among other places) and make it seem all too real. In this particular case, we get two different yet linked stories here, as the titular Lucy deals with the fallout of her actions from her introduction in Book 1 of this series while big sis Taylor, the lead in Book 1, continues to unravel the deep family secret she uncovered in the first book. Yet again. Bratt is perhaps too comfortable with modern police tactics for some... but yet again, Bratt *does* manage to *also* highlight at least some of the problems with modern US policing and even brings in the real-world Innocence Project here and cites some of their real-world figures regarding the number of convictions they've helped overturn in the last 30+ years. In both plotlines, "reality" as each sister knows it begins unravelling more and more the deeper the sister looks, and each sister has to find out just how far down the particular rabbit hole they find themselves in they're willing to go. And with the conclusion of this particular tale... you're going to want Book 3 (In My Life, currently slated for release one month from now on March 14, 2023) pretty well immediately. Very much recommended.
