⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Hello to the wealthy and nouveau riche of Florida!  In this story a wealthy wife of a prominent lawyer becomes the chief suspect in her husband’s disappearance and murder. It is up to her to prove her innocence and find the responsible parties. 

With a rather small cast of characters, the net of “who dunnits” was relatively small, so my 3⭐️ vs 4⭐️ was due to me having some very big perceptions of the truth about halfway through. The extra 1/2⭐️ was that it was a quick, easy, and rather cozy read.
