About the book:
Research
scientist Kate Adams and her colleague Daisy are on the brink of a breakthrough
for treating depression with herbal medicine when Daisy suddenly dies. Kate
knows that if it hadn't been for Daisy’s mentorship, she wouldn't have the job
she loves or the faith she clings to. So when police rule Daisy’s death a
suicide, Kate is determined to unearth the truth.
Former FBI agent
Tom Parker finds it hard to adjust to life back in his hometown of Port Aster.
Though an old buddy gives him a job as a detective on the local police force,
not everyone approves. Tom’s just trying to keep a low profile, so when Kate
Adams demands he reopen the investigation of her friend’s death, he knows his
job is at stake. In fact, despite his attraction to her, Tom thinks Kate looks
a bit suspicious herself.
As evidence
mounts, a web of intrigue is woven around the sleepy town of Port Aster. Can
Kate uncover the truth? Or will Tom stand in her way?
My review:
Kept me guessing
all the way through!
This is the first
book of Sandra Orchard’s that I've ever read. It was fantastic. She did a
marvelous job of crafting a twisting and tangling suspense/mystery novel. She
had so many suspects in this story and presented just enough about each of them
that they were definitely believable as the murderer. I didn't know right up
until the end who was the culprit.
I loved both of
the main characters, Kate Adams and Tom Parker. They were incredibly well
developed and presented. The secondary characters were also well developed. I
thoroughly enjoyed the relationships between the different characters.
