I received a copy of this ebook in a Goodreads giveaway. I don’t really care for lawyer based mystery/thrillers, I don’t think this is for me.
This is the story of Finley O'Sullivan. A year ago her husband was murdered right in front of her, and she was beaten and raped by the murderers - not expected to survive. A lawyer by trade, when she recovered and tried to go back to work, she has a psychological break and was let go from her position. Her family friend, Jack, a private investigator hired her to work for him and help solve cases. While Finley is determined to find the people who murdered her husband, Jack turns her onto an old case that has recently been reopened. The Legard family's patriarch was murdered several years ago and the man who was convicted of that murder wants to provide new evidence. Says he didn't do it. Jack and Finley start the process of opening up the case and interviewing the family and friends and others involved to try and find ou what happened. One twist after another finally comes to a head when the real story of what happened to this family is brought to light.
This was a decent book. I picked it up while shopping at our in town bookstore, and when I saw the main character was named Finley like my daughter, I decided to read it. It isn't superbly written, but it kept me entertained. Took me until about half the book to figure out the mystery. I might be a little slower than others on that point. It wrapped up decently, and I found out that this is a triology so Iwill be reading the next book for sure because loose ends were left at the end of this one.
If you like a murder mystery - you might want to check this one out.
Stars: 3.5

A profoundly stupid book that doesn’t even have the decency to tie up its loose ends, presumably so the reader will pick up the next book in the series. No way in hell. Why does this book have an average of 4+⭐️??? Undiscerning fan girls of this author, who will read anything she writes, regardless of quality?

This book took a long time for me to get into, about 150 pages. It was a bit hard to follow. The ending was a little off, it could have started sooner and been elaborated on more.
I could not get into this book. Even a third of the way through, I just felt bored and uninvested.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this book.
This was a nice, quick read. When Deputy Tessa Black discovers a man disturbing a grave, she gives chase. She doesn't catch him but does discover he wasn't robbing a grave, he was trying to bury a box of bones. The remains turn out to be a missing teenager, but who killed her?
This was a smooth, engaging read. Even though it is part of a series, it reads well as a stand-alone book. I wasn't particularly shocked by anything that happened in the book, but I still enjoyed reading it.
