Reviewed by Lynn, posted by author. I highly recommend this novel by Susan Calder. It's a fast paced murder mystery and family saga that will entice readers to keep turning pages from beginning to end. Along with wondering who was the murderer, the reader will also be provoked to think about "memory" and how accurate it is.
