Don't Go Home

by Janelle Taylor

Newly divorced school teacher Mia Anderson is looking forward to exploring her identity without her ex-husband's criticism. But a frantic call from her much wilder twin Margo suddenly plunges Mia into her sister's life, which Margot has fled - leaving a dead man in her wake. Before Mia can unravel Margot's disappearance, she's faced with Matthew Gray, the dead man's distraught brother. Asking him for help is a long shot - but It's the only way to carry out a dangerous charade.

Decelt is the last thing Matthew wants in his life - it ruined his parents' marriage, and it killed his cheating brother, who was seen flirting with Margot the night he was murdered. But Mia is sure that her sister is only a pawn in this deadly game, and he can't let her investigate on her own - not when she's determined to put her own life on the line. And as they sift through clues, talking long into each night to unravel the mystery, he begins to realize that what matters most is making sure Mia isn't the next victim.

A good read

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good, although somewhat slow paced, romantic suspense about Mia Anderson and Matthew Gray trying to find out who murdered his brother, and if Mia's twin sister, Margot, was involved in any way, since she disappeared shortly after the crime occurred.

Good mystery first time reading Carolyn Hart. The plot was so interesting. Did have hard time keeping up with too many characters. Loved the story and way it was written.
