I really enjoyed this one. Although it’s part of a trilogy, it worked great as a standalone, and it made me want to read the first two.

There were multiple layers in this story. First was the story of a poisoning that occurred at a goodbye party, but there was so much more to the tale. I loved how the chief of police had to work so many angles to figure out who the culprit was, because it definitely wasn’t easy! There was also another situation that must have bun earlier books, and that was nicely wrapped up in this one.

Four lovely stars, and I’m now a fan of this author!

This story was like a pandora's box , and once it's unlocked one secret after another falls out and the cops jump all over them and follow where they lead. This was such a sad story that began with one bad act and like a snowball rolling down hill it gathered mass and momentum until it hits its' target and breaks into small pieces. Add to that one unstable jealous personality and things turn lethal. This ended up being a tangled web of lies, deceit and betrayed for selfish reasons.

A very intriguing read with a nail-biting finish.
