Lots of unfortunate situations for different individual. A murder to unravel who was guilty and to be cleared of the innocent.

Ten feet ,

Interesting premise

Enjoyed the lead character & her feistiness. Well written plot!

strawberrycakez ,

So obvious

I already knew who the killer was going to be when the guy died. It’s ALWAYS the significant other. At least make it not obvious.
