Description
From Booklist You can’t go home again. But Kat does, after 10 years, to her Louisiana hometown, which is ironically named Liberty. Kat, founder of a successful chain of organic bakeries, returns to this unwelcoming town despite her acquittal of murder, not just to look back before moving forward, as she tells her cousin, but also because she is driven to, at last, find the killer of her sister, Sara. It’s no easy task, and acting police chief Luke Tanner—whose father, the former chief, was convinced of her guilt, is her only ally. Spindler (Blood Vines, 2010) heads each new chapter and its subheads with dates, times, and speaker’s name as needed, solidly orienting the reader in a complex tale rife with shifting time-frames and different speakers’ points of view. As Kat’s investigation deepens, risks multiply; knotted threads, inevitably about money, gradually untangle; and Spindler suspensefully strips away layers of deceit and guilt, revealing years of secrets and silences. Diverting and entertaining. --Whitney Scott “Spindler's chilling novels explore our deepest fear--that danger is closer than we think.
