About this ebook

Look Closely

That’s all the anonymous letter said, but attorney Hailey Sutter understands the meaning behind the well-chosen words. Someone wants her to investigate what happened to her mother, who died when Hailey was only seven.

The death was ruled accidental, but Hailey begins having flashbacks that tell a different story: a pounding at the door her mother struggling to stand a man with a gold ring that flashed in the night as he held her mother’s lifeless body.

Obsessed with uncovering the truth, Hailey can’t trust anyone, especially her father, whose secrecy both unnerves and protects her. Desperate to remember that fatal night, she seeks out the brother and sister who left home after their mother’s death. But they have disappeared. It’s soon clear to Hailey that the answer is right in front of herall she has to do is find the courage to look closely .

    Not bad for a suspense-mystery, but I've read better.

    I read this book nearly straight through, so it definitely kept my attention. The ending was not a complete surprise...there were really only a couple of possibilities, and the juggling of the timing of events in the story was a bit unwieldy. Still, she gave a good feel for the characters and the places in the stories. I was intrigued by her way of telling the story more than the actual events themselves. Great as a beach book or a book to take on a trip.

    A disappointment - after reading several of Caldwell's other books and loving them, this one fell flat. It good have done with better editing (a lot of typos, mistakes in continuity, that sort of thing) and the story was weak at best. I was bummed.
