[Paula Ratcliffe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Piercing The Veil is the prequel to Revenge Served Cold by Jackie Fullerton. This book is the story of Anne Marshall who's a steno taker in the divorce of Isabelle and and Tim Sherman. Anne knows in her heart that Sherman is a dirty man trying to hide money from his wife. She sets out with law group to find out what Tim Sherman is up to. When Tim Sherman's star witness is murdered, Anne sets out to prove it was Sherman who murdered her. Anne finds a ally in her deceased father who insists she has to find out what Sherman is up to. The ending is a complete surprise indeed.

I really enjoy Jacquelyn Fullerton's writing style it made you feel like you were a cohort in finding out what Sherman had done. I was actually surprised when it ended I thought it was gonna continue for another hundred pages or so. It had me hook line and sinker. I will definitely look for more work by this author. I gave it four cups cause I wanted more, but that is just me.
