My review

Kate O’Brien is an attorney who shares her practice with Bill Brown. While Kate focuses on family – law, Bill is more focused on more criminal related cases.
As a favor to Bill, she agrees to represent the wife of a wealthy surgeon, accused of murder.

What starts as a favor, quickly deteriorates for the worse. Her client isn’t cooperative and Bill is unreachable. Kate has no other option than keeping the case, even if she is not familiar with such cases.
When Bill is arrested, she finds out that Bill was in more illegal affairs than just drugs… he set her also up making it seem she was involved with all his activities.
Will she be able to prove her innocence? And most important, staying alive now it seems someone is after her…

She did it again, writing a story where you have no idea through the whole story what is going on, until the very end…
I started reading this in a lazy mood, thinking I would be able to put it away when it was time. Well, I should have thought better!
I found myself wanting to know what was really going on. Just like Kate, I did not have a clue!

When we meet Kate for the first time, we get instantly an idea what she is like. She is good at her job, and sometimes even let other people (read: Bill) get advantage of her.
But she is also feisty, as you will figure out during the story. She cannot stand injustice and believes that you are innocent until proven guilty. But unfortunately not everybody follows this rule.

This story is again a twist after twist. You have no idea where it all will end and what extend the wickedness of people reaches.
It’s again a thriller in its true sense, you have no clue what is going on and you find yourself turning page after page, because you must know what happens next and when the truth will be unfolded.
