Lenny is predictable, she's organized, and she's happy with that, but as we find out, happiness is what we make of it. Lenny struggles to fit in and to make friends. She's content to be alone, but deep inside, she wants to belong. As a school teacher, she's fond of her routine, visits to her mum, and her local grocery store, and watching Friends over and over. Until the day a letter arrives for her, Helena Winters, and the secrets, fears and guilt start to overwhelm her. Eventually those feelings free her, from the horrible things she endured as a child, to releasing the pain she struggles with, to being able to forgive herself, because none of it was ever her fault. I found myself intrigued by Lenny, and getting to know her is an honor and privilege I will never forget. I'm hoping to meet up with Lenny again, because now, she's free to really live her life.

When another murder victim is discovered, Lydia once again is the suspect and she has no idea who would be setting her up. When the investigation concluded I was absolutely stunned by who the murderer was. I am thrilled to have found another author who can impress me with a great first in a new series....more
