Wonderful, entertaining book. The audio version brought to life the characters; listeners (and readers) will be drawn into the lives of the women and how the lost apothecary is brought to life again.

ALL WE BURIED… a small-town murder with secrets boiling to the top of three families all damaged by the past, or what the past may bring to the present. Taylor was able to weave her characters into a tale of whodunit where I was questioning to the end - who really did commit the murder? Taylor weaved a wonderful cast of characters in her story and each played their part. Typically, I find a large group of characters can be cumbersome and hard to keep up with, but ALL WE BURIED worked. I think the tale spun wouldn’t have reached as far if only a few characters were part of the weave. It was slow reading at first for me and I was concerned that I wouldn’t finish, but I had the opportunity to move to the audiobook and the story really came to life. Without distraction, I was able to finish listening in one day. For me, the read is really about the mystery of the past for our characters and understanding how they fit together. It’s not an action-packed climax, but a slow emergence of understanding and realization. A great whodunit. I received a copy of ALL WE BURIED from the Author/Publisher via the Partners in Crime Virtual Book Tour for my honest opinion.
