Kindness Can Kill
NOT A PRETTY PICTURE:
Stunningly beautiful, brazenly sexy, Julia Henderson was every man’s fantasy and every wife’s nightmare—until her brutal murder rocks the quiet English village of Rickenham Green. Detective Chief Inspector Ian Roper and his team sort out the clues and conclude this was no illicit one-nighter gone insane. It was deliberate and emotional. Whoever killed Julia knew her well. So twisted are the sins and secrets of some community members that two will confess to killing Julia. But it’s the identity of her true killer that remains as shocking as it is inevitable.
