This book is one wild ride! Kate Myles is private investigator struggling at life. She has lost custody of her daughter, Amelia, due to an addiction to pain pills after a car accident. She’s trying to get her life together. Then she learns that her biological father isn’t the dad she grew up with; and that she is related to a murder suspect on a cold case – though they aren’t sure who that is yet. She’s asked to work that case for free while being paid to work a recent arson case in the same town. The victim in that case is Abby, the suspect is her brother, but she’s been hired to figure out if he really did it. Two murders and multiple suspects.

This wild ride of a book is told in dual timelines, the here and now, and Abby and Jacob’s point of view from the past. The book being told this way really builds out the characters and their world. It gives you a 360 degree look into them.

This is a true page turner. It’s full of twists, turns, and suspects. I had no idea what direction that this book was going to take. Every person I had in my as a suspect in each of the murders was wrong. I thought I was really going to get it this time, but alas, I did not. I enjoyed the ending and seeing how the two plot lines came together. There were moments that I was truly on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what was going to happen. I do have one question though – so maybe I can ask the author!

I didn’t realize that this was a part of a series; I didn’t know until after I had finished reading the book and starting writing this review! I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything at all; it definitely can be read as a standalone.

This is a MUST READ mystery; I promise you, you’ll love this one!
