From USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb comes crime analyst Vera Boyett’s next case—a triple homicide that tears a small town apart…and an accident that could do worse to her family.
A cabin in the woods. Three dead, one in critical condition. Property owned by not just any Tennessee local, but one of the richest men in the country.
Vera Boyett isn’t quite sure what it means. But that’s why Sheriff Gray “Bent” Benton called to figure it out. Criminal analysis is what she does best. Even when the town is in panicked shambles, even when the case is more delicate than most…and even when it’s not the only case on her plate.
Vera’s family is caught in a deadly mess of its own. And while her pregnant sister seems an unlikely culprit, each new detail seems to point to her guilt. Desperate to protect her, Vera vows to find out what really happened.
As evidence emerges in both cases, Vera and Bent work to unravel a dangerous web of secrets to get to the truth. But their investigations reveal more than they ever expected…
MY THOUGHTS:
Vera Boyett, who had been called to the scene of a gruesome triple murder, soon discovers that one of her sisters, Luna, might be involved in the crime. Luna, along with her sister Eve, had found contentment in their lives and relationships, and Vera had often envied their happiness. However, Vera soon realizes that things are not always as they seem.
Every now and again I think about whether or not a book is character given or is it plot driven. In this book, I think it is definitely character driven because of the familiar connection between Vera and her sister Luna. Then there is the connection between Vera and Ben and the possibility of where their relationship might go. With the other friendships and relationships that show strength in the story, it was easy to connect to the characters.
While it seems as this might be the final book in a series I have really enjoyed, I will be continuing to read books by Debra Webb.
Many thanks to Thomas & Mercer and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
