Excellent writing, as one would expect from the author, with all the heart-achey feels one could hope for from this plot. It's smut-free, which this author (and so many others) seem to be moving towards, and which was a little disappointing. The mystery here was so obvious, I thought it must be a red herring, so that was a bit underwhelming for what was an intriguing premise.

The mystery was not really a mystery, but even knowing who the real murderer did not make me enjoy the story any less. Casper has been exonerated, and people seem to think that he can walk back into his old life like the last year never happened. Everything about his life is different and he is struggling. I was not sure how we were going to get to a HEA, but she pulled it off.
