Just For A Heartbeat (Piper Anderson Legacy Mystery Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 293 ratings

Every photograph was at one point a moment intended to be remembered. Ruby Constantine works tirelessly to give old film new life, salvaging forgotten and discarded rolls. There is a gamble to the process; she may end up with a priceless treasure or a stack of meaningless photographs. The job provides a level of excitement the rest of Ruby's life lacks. That is, until a particularly unique set turns out to have captured a grisly crime that Ruby knows the local police on Bolton Bluff Island off the coast of Maine are not equipped to solve.

Patrick Sullivan has given up his job as an investigative reporter in Boston in order to write articles about bumble bees and pizza crusts for a tiny newspaper in Maine. Why? Because no one dies as a result of something he’s written anymore. Though his goal is to keep his head down and mind his own business, a call from Ruby changes everything. She holds a special place in his heart and helping is a pull he can’t resist.

Success seems impossible when their hunt for a killer becomes more dangerous than anything they could have imagined. Ruby and Patrick must decide if their lives are worth more than the truth.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Danielle Stewart is a USA Today Best Selling Author of over thirty books. Her series include The Piper Anderson Series, The Edenville Series, The Clover Series, The Piper Anderson Legacy Mystery Series, The Rough Waters Series & The Barrington Billionaire's Series. She has had more the 3 million books downloaded and held the number one book rank on Apple Books, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Danielle currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband and son. She works hard to perfect the ability to write in a noisy house and create story lines while folding laundry. She loves hearing from readers so please find her on social media!

Ten Things to know about Danielle Stewart:

1. I have a fear of whales. All whales. The noise they make. The sight of them (even on tv). I don't think this phobia has a name and I've never met anyone else who feels this way. I blame it on the 3D movie when I was 7 at the Boston Museum of Science. (Thanks Dad.)

2. When I get hungry it brings out the worst in me. My friends and family know to keep me well fed. They pack snacks now.

3. I can cook but not bake. Not even a little. Not even a box of brownies.

4. If there is a song I like it is normal to hear me listening to it a hundred times (give or take) in a row.

5. I do not, under any circumstances, read directions. Who has time for that? Making mac & cheese by the seat of my pants for the last 25 years.

6. Like a black-out drunk, I have lost hours of my life mysteriously to Pinterest. If you haven't tried it yet... don't. Save your self.

7. Before I became a mother, lots of things grossed me out. Now nothing does.

8. My favorite food is food... my least favorite food is no food. I love food. (apply the same rule to wine)

9. I do not have a green thumb. I have the kind of thumb that kills any type of plant ever given to me. Whatever kind of thumb that is... I have it.

10. Writing has changed my life. Not just the career it's created but the way I feel when I write. If you have something you love to do I hope you get the opportunity to do it.

Once again, Ms. Stewart didn't disappoint. This 2nd book in the Piper Anderson Legacy Series is action packed and filled with mystery and intrigue. When Ruby develops an old roll of film, she finds disturbing photos depicting gruesome murders. Piper, Bobby, Ruby and her friend, Patrick set off to investigate, trying to find answers. A real page turner.

This book was amazing! Having anxiety and the way it was explained in this book was spot on. I love how Ruby was giving a new purpose in life after so many years of living in the dark with the help of hew new love and friends! The twist and turns was a great addition. Great read! I can't wait for the Book 3 of this series!

I've come to enjoy any book where Piper and Bobby show up to make the plot full of twists and turns. While this was not my favorite in the series, its still a very good read.

Another great story from Stewart. I love how fast she gets you hooked and how she adds characters at a nice and easy pace. I really enjoy reading her work and I imagine she’s going to be one of my favorite authors. There will definitely be more to come, I can’t resist.5

Could not put this down. Twist in the plot I never saw coming.

It ties in with the series but can be read completely standalone.

I was taken away by this story. I know how fear can drive you inside yourself and I know how it feels to face the demons to free yourself! This book has the perfect mix and ties itself to a little town that I have come to love!!

My o my what a book. You are abducted and escape but so traumatised you become a recluse developing found spools of photographs. This opens a whole new can of worms. Mystery, intrigue, murder, abject terror, love and compassion. It is all here. Loved it
