And devoured this one in two days.
Oh my goodness, I love these two writers together. I love how you pick up the book and you are immediately drawn into the story line. The connection with the characters is spell binding. I love when writers are so good at what they do, they make you as the reader feel like you are part of the story.
Mia Quinn's husband recently died, leaving her with a fourteen year old son, a four year old daughter, and a mountain of surprises - debts, betrayals, and lies. Mia feels like she is going to be sucked under the teetering weight of it all. To top it off, as the story opens she is on the phone with her colleague Colleen from the prosecutor's office, discussing bringing a case of bullying resulting in suicide before a grand jury. As the two friends chat about various work topics they are also going through items in their respective homes trying to line up items for a garage sale (for Mia) when suddenly a gunshot sounds over the phone line.
And the hunt begins.
Mia teams up with a Seattle detective to try and unravel the mystery of murder meanwhile successfully balancing her full work load (she also is a part time professor at the local university), single parenting her children, and still processing the death of her husband and now of a good friend.
This book is AWESOME.
