Ten years later Claudia's husband, the ADA, has opened the case again to try to find BJ's murderer in hopes to cheer his wife up who is suffering from depression. Casio, who has become a police officer, offers to assist and together they work to solve this murder as Casio's life falls apart and Claudia's family gets ripped apart. Will they save their lives and their families as they try to discover the truth behind the shooting?
I really did enjoy this book. There were definitely some unexpected twists at the end. Overall though, I really enjoyed this book. It was clean and it kept me turning the page to find out what would happen. There was quite a bit of drama in this book. There are several scenarios that could hurt those sensitive to miscarriages, abuse, adultery, PTSD, and then, of course, murder. This was an "on the edge of your seat" mystery that I thoroughly enjoyed. :)
