Past Suspicion by Therese Heckenkamp

This book is classified as youth fiction but I still enjoyed it. The heroine in the story is just 3 weeks shy of her 18th birthday.  Her father had died when she was quite young and her mother has recently died. Since she was a minor she was sent to live with her mother's brother, an uncle that she had never met.  Robin did not know anything about her mother's past. Her mother had kept her past a secret.  Robin grew up in California and the uncle lives in Wisconsin.  Robin cannot wait until she is 18 so she can return to California. While living with her uncle she begins to find out more about her mother. She meets two different young men who take an interest in her.  All through the book you don't know which young man to trust. Both of the young men had secrets that they kept from her. As Robin begins to unravel her mother's past she is put into danger. I kept flipping the pages to see what will happen next. This book was a free download and I am so happy I gave this writer a chance even though I've never read her before. The character in the book and the character's mother shared a love of Victoria Holt. I read Victoria Holt more than 30 years ago and reading this book renewed an interest in me to re-read some of Victoria Holt's books again. I look forward to reading more of this author.
