Cameron MacDonald has spent his life guided by duty.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The idea of love turning someone crazy takes on a literal meaning in Jodi Picoult’s romantic mystery set in small-town Massachusetts. Chief of Police Cam MacDonald, the patriarch of a close-knit clan of Scottish immigrants, reluctantly prosecutes his cousin Jamie for mercy killing his terminally ill wife. At the same time, an alluring newcomer to the village disrupts Cam’s too-comfortable marriage to his florist wife, Allie. Picoult expertly navigates the gray area between right and wrong with empathy and respect for her characters and her readers.
