Rowan Winter and Marianne Glass were best friends since they first met as teenagers. Rowan was so hurt when after several years, Marianne cuts Rowan out of her life. This not only deprived Rowan of Marianne's love, but that of Marianne's family, as well.
Ten years later, Rowan gets a phone call .. Marianne is dead. They have deemed this an accident or a suicide. But Rowan knows that Marianne had a fear of heights and a severe case of vertigo ... there is no way she ever would have even been that close to the edge of a roof.
Rowan is determined to search for the truth. And what she finds are secrets, lies, and coverups with surprises at every turn. And the deeper she digs, the more dangerous everything seems. A truth from the past only Rowan knows makes her worry about her own fate . ..
Interesting take on family dynamics ... both the good and the bad. I enjoyed the foray into an artist's world and its inhabitants.
Characters are well drawn and most of them have deep dark secrets they don't want to see the light of day. It's a steady paced thriller ... actually, a little slow in places where Rowan is recounting her earlier days with Marianne. It does pick up speed as it goes, but its more like a trot than a gallop.
This was my first first by this author, but it won't be the last.
