About this ebook

Tragically widowed, Thea Kozak is tall, brave, and trying to rebuild her life.

Then her little sister is murdered in a picturesque Maine town. The police have no leads. Her grieving parents are eager to put everything behind them, and Thea--"little mother" to her adopted sister--refuses to back down. Not when she can do one more thing for Carrie: find the killer and get justice for her little sister.

But the truth behind Carrie and her adoption proves ugly, and her killer steadfastly believes family secrets must be kept silent.

    An engaging, easy read, with a solidly-constructed, interesting mystery. The characters are compelling - even when they're not entirely likeable (and when they're entirely unlikable) - and the mystery, while surprisingly gory, is good enough that you really want to know how it ends. Lots of fun, and a great beach read.
