Things aren’t always what they seem to be.

Hairdresser Valerie Urniak learns that lesson when tragedy strikes in her apartment building. What at first seems to be a terrible accident turns out to be something else entirely…

By giving in to her curiosity, Valerie finds herself in a web of deception that dates back to her teenage marriage and beyond… with fatal results.

This was quite a read since I couldn't put my Kindle down. Wonderful, suspenseful and a big mystery romance story. I recommend it to anyone.

This is a 5 star mystery novel. I couldn't put the book down. The story had twists and turns I did not see what was coming. A definite read, be prepared to read thru the night. Looking forward to book 3!
