Annalisa is back, but she is no longer on the police force.

She hung her own shingle out as a private investigator.

She didn't have to wait too long for a client.

Mara arrived asking Annalisa to check into the death of young woman who fell from her balcony. She thinks Craig Canning, a famous neurosurgeon, pushed her.

Mara and Craig have other connections too. Mara has written a book about sociopaths and centered it around Craig.

Annalisa gets another client as well.

Her husband's daughter has a friend who needs to find her mother. Her mother is bad news.

Dr. Canning is also bad news especially when he threatens Annilissa and her livelihood and Mara about a secret she has.

Another can't-put-down read by Joanna Schaffhausen.

Lots of tension, twists, and surprises that will keep you off track and keep you turning the pages to get to the end.

Fans will be delighted. 5/5
