Will Maggie listen to the facts or what her gut is telling her about the crime? And when a well-guarded secret threatens to bring down everything she and Laurent have built in France, will she make the right choice—even if it goes against everything she believes in?

I loved every second of it!" -- Goodreads Reader"I loved it. While I was reading I had the tune of “Murder, She Wrote” in my head. I also thought of “Desperate Housewives” when you didn’t know which neighbor had killed Mary Alice. Each neighbor in the neighborhood has their secrets and knows more about the murder than they let on at the beginning. Little by little Annie gets more information out of them, although it seems that she already knows it from the beginning, the truth of the way she presents it to you at the end is careful and detailed. I loved it, I hope to continue reading the saga." -- Goddreads Reader"The novel artfully blends a classic whodunit with modern sensibilities, capturing the societal nuances of wealth, privilege, and secrecy. Five stars." -- A Look Inside Reviews
