When Bernadette Santos achieves her goal of making detective, she finds herself working a murder case, partnered with a risk-taker, and falling for one of the primary suspects—all in her first week on the job.
She soon learns nothing on the case she’s working is what is seems to be—including the victim’s identity. One murder leads to another, which leads Bernie on a page-turning quest to discover who is transforming the sleepy midwestern community of Pleasant Valley into a chaotic mess. And why.
Author Deborah Sprinkle does a great job of keeping readers guessing until the very end of the book.
