A jolly good read
Lottie Parker is grieving the loss of her husband to cancer. She has three teenagers at home she's trying to raise alone. Lottie's relationship with her mother is sour, and she's battling alcohol addiction as well as teetering on the brink of a breakdown. As if she didn't have enough on her plate, Lead Detective Lottie Parker's life just got a lot more complicated when a string of murders in a matter of days tests her resolve as a detective. And what does that old abandoned, yet foreboding, former children's home have to do with a woman strangled in a Catholic Church, a man found hanging from a tree in his own yard, and the town's hot shots' plans to turn St. Angela's into a resort hotel complete with eighteen hole golf course? Read on to find out! I'm very good at figuring out "whodunit" but this book had me guessing to the very end! I loved it. You will too.
