This mystery novel is the prequel to the #1 bestselling Eva Rae Thomas Mystery Series.
What do we do when the truth hurts too much?
Fresh out of the national academy - mother of two - FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas is in over her head on her first assignment in multi-million-copy bestselling author Willow Rose’s breath-taking mystery.
When the mother of two, Arlene Wood, crashes her car against a tree at four in the morning, the case seems pretty straightforward.
But evidence found in the remains of the car soon raises the question of whether this was really an accident.
Shortly after, her husband is taken in and later convicted of having murdered his wife.
But many questions remain unanswered.
Why was Arlene driving in the middle of the night?
Why did she leave the house, her husband, and her sleeping children, get into her car, and drive away?
Was she meeting someone?
A friend?
A lover?
A killer?
Six years later, Special Agent Eva
Rae Thomas is new on the job when she stumbles upon something that
suddenly blows this case wide open.
But can she persuade anyone to reopen the case even when the husband has admitted that he is guilty?
And will she be able to do it in time before this killer strikes again?
4 STARS
For the most part I liked this story. It definitely had depth as well as quite a few characters.
This is the first story that I have read in this series. And I did find it hard to follow at times. I think that was mainly because it wasn't clear when I went from one chapter to the next, who was speaking?
I felt like it was like trying to play catch up at times. I had to backtrack quite a few times. It interrupted the flow for me.
The story did have plenty of twists, turns and emotions. The biggest one was waiting as I got to towards the end.
On a side note, Eva Rae's husband was a jerk. Yes, Eva was so obsessed with that case that she was kind of failing on the home side. But he acted like a pouting, demanding kid. So I wasn't too happy with how they ended things between them at the end of the story.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
