About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
When a woman pleads amnesia in the death of her husband, Nick and Nora can forget about playing it safe as they track down the killer . . .
Six years ago, Mariah Blackthorne was found lying on the floor of her home, unconscious, holding the murder weapon that had killed her husband. Swearing she had no memory of the tragic event but insisting she was innocent, she nonetheless agreed to a plea deal and went to prison for the crime. Now, out on parole and desperate to know the truth, she enlists the help of local sleuth Nora Charles to find out what really happened that day—even if it means discovering she was the guilty party after all.
Intrigued by the case and convinced of the woman’s innocence, Nora agrees to investigate. With her trusty sidekick warning her that they were headed for trouble, she unearths no shortage of suspects from the dead man’s past. But as she follows every incriminating clue linking the victim to his fellow doctors and even a long string of mistresses, vicious threats begin piling up telling Nora to back off. Facing down a killer who will kill again to conceal their guilt, she and Nick may end up solving a case they won’t live to remember . . .
Includes mouthwatering recipes!
My Review
Mariah Blackthorne spent six years in prison for killing her husband. She has absolutely no memory of it. All she knows is that she was found unconscious next to his dead body. In the present day, she makes a deal to get out on parole. However, she really wants to know what happened that day. She asks Nora Charles for help. Everyone knows Nora and her feline sidekick Nick are experts at finding out the truth.
Nora agrees to take the case, and Nick is by her side. They quickly learn that there are many suspects and some had a better motive than Mariah. Then, Nora starts to receive threats to back off. That only makes her more determined than ever to find out the truth.
This is the 8th book in this delightful series. It gets better and better all the time. Nora and Nick feel like old friends.
The story went by quickly. I was totally engrossed in this one. The author is a master storyteller. She has a knack for keeping me at the edge of my seat guessing who the culprit is and I’m usually wrong. That was the case with this one too.
I’ve enjoyed everything this author has written. I have to continue with her other series books, plus keep watch for any new books that are released.
