I received this one as a Goodreads First Read Give-Away. Many thanks!
This is the 4th in a series featuring Anna Curtis, a state prosecutor in Michigan. I read the first one, but not the 2nd or 3rd. This one does well as a stand-alone, but there's a lot of background that makes it important to go back to the beginning.
Anna calls off her wedding and the following day she gets a call from her sister Jody's friend who states that Jody is in trouble and Anna needs to come. Since timing is everything, and she's just finished a big case and she doesn't want to deal with her ex at the moment, off she goes.
Arriving at Jody's she is surprised that Jody is being accused of murder ... of a much loved high school coach. With the help of an old old friend, Anna takes on her sister's case and investigates, especially as Jody will say nothing more than she didn't do it.
Every other chapter or so we hear Jody's words ... going back 10 years... and what has actually aspired in all that time to lead up to the coach's death. The ending may surprise you.
Sisterly love is a fragile thing. To what lengths would you go to save your sister?
Book is very well written, characters are finely drawn, and most of them, while irritating at times, are actually very likeable with redeeming qualities. I do think I'm going back to read the ones I've missed.... and watch for what comes next.
