Alexandra Gaither's mother was murdered 25 years ago. Her killer was never brought to justice. Now she is reopening the case and confronting three powerful men who were with her mother that fateful night.

Ugh. Where do I start? The heroine runs around town questioning suspects. When she is not accusing them of murder, she is attending dinners and parties with them. Everytime she uncovers a secret from the past (there are many) she either confronts a suspect with her suspicions...or goes back to her hotel room to cry. The romance between the heroine and one of her suspects is terrible. We're supposed to believe they love each other? The characters are not fleshed out at all. There is no suspense in this book. The murderer is very easy to figure out. If you want to read a Sandra Brown book, don't start with this one. My rating: 1.5 stars.
