Determined to prove his innocence, Olivia starts asking questions and soon draws the attention of an unknown enemy who wants to silence her.

I could barely finish this book. I hated the characters especially Sadie and Nanna, and all the cheaters in the book.

This book totally caught me from the first page. I read it in one day.

This was a really good one. It opens with our heroine finding a skeleton in the basement of her family’s restaurant. With her deceased grandpa as the prime suspect, she is compelled to clear his name and find the real killer. But her inquiries stir up secrets that many in the town want to remain buried. With the constant flooding and threat of the local dam breaking, she must outrun someone who wants to stop her for good.
