Beyond the Shadow
Guilty or Innocent? Even after the sensational trial of St. Louis builder Holden Sawyer, the answer to that question haunts marketing consultant and juror Mara Taylor. All Mara wants is to resume her normal life But because of the lengthy, notorious trial, her business is in ruins. Her roommate is gone along with Mara's boyfriend. Then a series of 'accidents' convinces her that someone wants her punished for setting Holden free. And the former defendant wants her help in solving the murder! Pushed beyond endurance and determined to regain her fife, Mara sets out to solve the murder on her own. Every clue embroils her more deeply into the life of one prime suspect, Holden Sawyer, the defendant she helped acquit. What was Holden's relationship with the beautifully erotic murder victim? Why does a mysterious gold necklace help Mara tap into the victim's mind and the secrets a television evangelist religiously protects? In the midst of the front page backlash her investigation generates, is Mara filling in love with the man she helped free, or the allure and excitement that surround him? Which is more important, knowing the truth... or trusting her heart?

Mara wants to know the truth but all she seems to get is critizied for her decision. Holden is elated that he wants charged for a crime he didn't commit. He wants to find out the truth at all costs. The emotions that were displayed in the book made me turn pages faster. It was so real and so deep.
Ms. Hunter writes an excellent story. I just wish I had an idea of how racy it was going to be. It was very detailed in a lot of ways that I personally don't care for. Yet I couldn't put it down since I had to find out who was behind the murder of Cathy. The story flowed very well. The flashbacks were well placed. I was able to get a wonderful set up to the story and the events that led up to the death of Cathy. I am curious to see what her other books are like.
