Recovering Rita by Teresa Burrell Book Review


 

As a member of Ms. Burrell’s beta reader team, I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. Cover image provided by Ms. Burrell.

Lana, Ron, and Tuper (and Dually, too!) are on the case of some missing Hutterite girls. They thought it was just Rita, but it turns out that at least one girl from several surrounding colonies also went missing. Their mission to find Rita leads them down one path, chasing clues, only to find them veering off to go in another direction that they weren’t expecting. Lana has some deep buried secrets of her own that she isn’t ready to reveal to anyone; Ron is curious, Tuper doesn’t ask, and Lana isn’t ready to tell. Maybe she will be in another book.

Ms. Burrell does a fascinating job of leading the reader down one path and then very cleverly tosses a pebble in the mix, turning the reader down another path. There is also just the faintest hint of a potential romance. Ms. Burrell also does a good job of intermixing her characters from her previous books into her current book.
