3.5 stars. This was fun and entertaining- no spoilers, but Angela is in a heap of trouble in this one, and we learn a lot more about her past. The resolution felt a bit too pat to me, and I have a feeling things aren’t as settled as Angela thinks at the end. I look forward to the next book. This one gave Freddy more of a role, and he added a lot to my enjoyment. I would seek out his spin off series to listen to, I could see them being fun!
This is the ninth in the Angela Marchmont series. It finally reveals the secrets of Angela's past - some of which I had already guessed at, but it is interesting to have much of her back story revealed.
When Angela's estranged husband turns up, a ne'er do well who sponges off her, and then gets himself killed, she finds herself as the main suspect. This enables the author to enjoy some dramatic Court scenes, as the public gallery enjoys seeing one of the rich and famous in the dock.

Angela Marchmont finds herself on the wrong side of the law in this exciting story in which someone she definitely doesn't want to see reappears in her life and threatens her security. Unfortunately the one person who could save her is unlikely to want to do so and she has no means of contacting him. It is a race against time in which Angela's friends looks certain to lose and the book keeps you on the edge of your seat until almost the end.

Oh boy! Angela on trial for murder?!?! I thought she put them away! Of course, we know that she didn't do it but the telling of it was riveting and un-put-downable!!!! And now, the truth comes out about Angela's past. Boy! What a doozy!

This was another book of this author's that just did not come up to the standard of the earlier books. We do get to find out more of Angela's past, but that seemed very strange to me, as the husband just seemed to not fit. I know it was explained but I still don't think Angela would have married such a man. Her ability to make money was no real surprise, but seeing how independent she was in earlier books, I don't think she would have felt so attached to a mistake she had made. I was also amazed
