This book was very hard to put down!
Lilly Martin is an Attorney in LA who is having career problems and personal problems trying to forget her past in a small Louisian town when she gets a call that her close friend, Father Michael has been murdered. She goes back to the town she is trying to leave behind and a tragic past and abusive childhood. Her ex-husband is the sherriff of this town and investigating the murder. Lilly has moved past their marriage, but Hugh still considers her his wife. Hugh never liked Father Michael so Lilly stays to make sure his murder is caught. To complicate matters, Lilly's first love, Gitan, is recently released from prison for killing Lilly's father. Lilly, Hugh,Gitan, & Michael were all close friends growing up, and grew apart after Lilly's father's death.
The plot moves fast and is a great read, but I never really understood why Lilly had married Hugh or when their relationship started. I had figured out the who early on, but still was surprised by some of the twist. I loved Lilly & Gitan, and their relationship was intense and sweet, but I never got an explanation on why Lilly walked away from him to begin with. I am looking forward to the next book by SK McClafferty.
