Review
Joanne Kilbourn, professor, widow, mother, and media panelist, has
seemingly come to terms with the apparently senseless murder of her
politician husband six years earlier. However, when her husband’s
killer is murdered in the prison yard, and then the prisoner’s wife is
found dead in a parking lot with Joanne’s scarf around her neck,
Joanne realizes that all three murders might be linked—but to what?
Joanne’s quest for answers takes her through the past with new eyes,
and along a road full of twists and dangers.
Gail Bowen writes with wry humor, wonderful irony, and a fine sense of
imagery. This fourth novel featuring her unlikely sleuth is a complex,
highly readable work, with a convoluted but plausible plot that will
keep readers interested to the end.
