A twist filled gripping book which worked perfectly as a stand-alone for me! The twists kept me on my toes and fully engaged. This book left me wondering how/why I have not read this series before? I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will find time to read the previous books in the series.
What began as a beautiful evening as Maggie and Len celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, ended in tragedy for others. Maggie was so happy. She was surrounded by friends and family and married to a man she loved. But across town, the body of a young woman has been spotted by a dog walker and pulled from a river.
Looking for the gift she made for her husband, Maggie discovers a pink scarf that was not there the day before. The scarf is scented with perfume – one she recognizes but can’t quite place. But it’s not the perfume that is the most shocking – it is the splashes of blood on the scarf.
Maggie catches a news flash on the television about the murder of a beautiful local girl who just happened to be wearing a scarf that looks just like the scarf Maggie found in her home!
This was a gripping, twist filled read in which a woman has doubts. What happens when you jump to conclusions, when doubt and suspicion consume you? I enjoyed how this played out in the book. I also enjoyed the hunt for the killer. I thought this book had the perfect amount of investigation and domestic drama. The mystery of who killed the young woman was intriguing and just when I thought I had things figured out, I had the rug pulled out from under me.
Shocking, gripping, twist filled and well written.
