Plot or Premise

Kinsey is hired by her cousin Tasha, the lawyer, to track down the long-lost fourth son of a recently deceased construction company owner so they can file the will for probate.

What I Liked

Kinsey does a quick short-cut on finding the missing heir, and sets in motion a series of interactions with the rest of the family that results in death. Add in an old fraud, the return of Dietz to her life, and some emerging feelings for the prodigal son, and it is a full novel.

What I Didn’t Like

A couple of the final pieces to the puzzle are completely hidden until the last chapter, and it’s not even Kinsey who finds them. I didn’t feel it was playing fair with the reader, holding back some key elements until the end that no one had a chance to see being uncovered so much as like working on a puzzle for several days only to have someone spoil the ending by just telling you the solution.

The Bottom Line

Great novel, good characters, let-down for the ending.
