5.0

Katelyn was sent away after her mothers murder. She never understood why her father did not want her. He never missed a visit with her but she never returned home for more than an overnight stay in 20 years. When his health deteriorates rapidly, his successor as sheriff and her nemesis, contacts her and she rapidly returns home.

John is running from a tortured past as a fast rising detective in NY. When Katelyn’s father took a chance on him, he came to love the man as a father. But when Allan lets slip some important information during a less lucid episode, new light is shed on Katelyn mothers murder. They must now work together to try and solve this decades old murder before Allan dies never knowing what happened to his wife.

It's not long before someone with a malevolent streak lets Katelyn know that she is not welcome back in town!!! Someone is out to get her but who and why?

Set in a small town with a cast of great secondary characters, who quickly adopt Katelyn as their own. There were many twists and turns and I was agog when the baddie was revealed!!!
