Thought it was great
Exciting, Intriguing, Dangerous, Emotional – this book will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Like Leah Nash, our heroine, I am curious about cold cases, both those unsolved and those whose stories just don’t add up to me.
After successfully writing a book about her own sister, Leah is coming off a book tour, back in her hometown, ready to settle into a new phase of life. An old friend shows up, makes a scene, and sets Leah off on a new investigation. One that most people are trying to keep her from reopening.
I was attracted to this book for its Midwestern setting and because it involves a writer. I have a soft spot for writers. I am also a fan of twisted mysteries, those in which various plots and motives entangle and take me onto unexpected pathways. I like to figure out the clues as the plot unfolds.
The writing is rewarding, mixing intelligent questions with some snarky comments and taking the reader on an emotional ride. The characters are well developed and also bring out an emotional response in the reader, and in other characters!
The author, via our heroine, reminds us that “finding the truth wasn’t the same as finding the answers.” Profound and oh so true!
When the truth is uncovered, it is going to shake up this struggling small town of fifteen thousand residents. And make the reader a fan of this series and author.
