Searching for the truth
could get them killed…
When new evidence surfaces about a tragic boating accident that put her ex-boyfriend’s father in prison, private investigator Dory Winslow’s determined to look into it. But now someone’s dead set on silencing her. And working with Chad Jaggert—the father of her secret child—may be the only way to survive the treacherous truth about the tragedy that once tore them apart.

My Review:
This book has an intriguing and suspenseful storyline that held my attention from the beginning to the end of the book. There were several different ways the mystery could have played out, and I changed my mind about the identity of the murderer several times.
Although I enjoyed the mystery/suspense in this book, I was annoyed much of the time with the main characters, Dory and Chad. The tension between them seemed to be prolonged and sometimes a little too bitter. However, they redeemed themselves in the last part of the book and worked together to solve the case. Dory’s young daughter added a sweetness to the story that made me smile.
Dana Mentink’s books are always great reading and I think this was one of her best stories.
