Fast-moving book. Britt's sister, Greta, is killed in a fire. They were estranged for years, ridiculously, so it's even more ridiculous that Britt moves in with Greta's husband and child and then begins thinking that the husband must hav done it and seeing herself as her niece's protector. Too quickly making him out to be evil and then too weirdly deciding that Greta's widow is the only man for her--albeit a year later.
Despite the fact that I found the protagonist to be a bit of a humorless, obnoxious asshole (can you be a "bit of" an obnoxious asshole? Is that like being a "little bit" pregnant?), I enjoyed the book. Kind of.
I love Patricia MacDonald. She's fun to read.
I loved the suspense all over, very well written as always with Patricia Mac Donald. I didn't have a clue about the murderer but i was disappointed by the overall end.. was predictable.
A good reading though :))

Too pat of an ending, would've been better with a more suspenseful ending.
Até hoje não encontrei um livro desta autora que não gostasse!
