Publisher Description
There’s no escape from your past…
Jill had married William Skyler for all the right reasons: love and the hope that she was making a family for her daughter, as well as his two girls. But her husband's devastating betrayal ripped their marriage apart and she and Megan lost everything.
Now, years later, her ex-stepdaughter Abby shows up on her doorstep drunk and distraught with the news of her father's death.
But Abby is no longer the innocent girl Jill once knew...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Complex family dynamics and carefully concealed secrets drive this gripping stand-alone from Edgar-winner Scottoline (Save Me). Jill Farrow, a Philadelphia pediatrician, and her teenage daughter, Megan, live with Jill's calm and forbearing fianc , Sam Becker. When Jill's estranged 19-year-old ex-stepdaughter, Abby Skyler, rushes into Jill's home late one rainy night to tell her that her ex-husband, William, is dead, apparently of a drug overdose, Jill can summon little sympathy for the unscrupulous William. When the distraught Abby insists that her father was murdered and that Jill must help her find his killer, Jill is reluctant to get involved, particularly since the police can find no evidence of a crime. As Jill tries to juggle her duties as doctor, mother, and sleuth, her delving into William's murky past puts emotional strain on Megan and jeopardizes her relationship with Sam. A surfeit of melodrama and some anemic subplots are unlikely to deter the author's many loyal fans. Author tour.
Customer Reviews
Not great
The main character drove me insane. And not in a good way.
Serious over-use of the words hustle and hustled, the editing needs to be better.
