Review
Ribbons of Guilt is the third book in the series Bite of Betrayal by Laura Thomas. Though it could be read as a standalone without missing too much, to get the whole dynamic of the sister, it is better enjoyed as a whole.
This story had me from the very beginning, and I could not put the story down. Harriet was a great ballet dancer, but she put up her ballet slippers to start her family. Everything seemed like perfection- her French husband, Leo, a perfect daughter, sisters living close by, but her husband, Leo, seems to be hiding secrets. When Harriet reconnects with a past dancing colleague, she starts to feel seen for who she is. When presents start showing up with ties to swans and ballet, things start to feel off. As things begin to come unwound and secrets get told, Leo and Harriet become close again. This mystery suspense had me on my toes, guessing who it was and what would happen next.
Laura Thomas did a great job intertwining faith elements throughout.
