Juliet Cole’s life has been dismantled by the murder of her husband. She doesn’t know who—or what—to trust when everything she has believed to be true about her marriage has been a lie. When Juliet Cole’s husband of fifteen years is gunned down in a dark parking lot before her eyes, she thinks it was a random shooting. Devastated and traumatized, she answers hours of questioning. When she’s finally allowed to return home to break the news to her boys, she hears a voicemail that takes the situation from a random shooting to a planned, deliberate attack. “Mrs. Cole, we know you have access to the supply and the money. If you don’t turn fifty million over to us and give us the codes, then you’ll be burying more family members.”

Suddenly, Juliet realizes that she and her children could be in danger. She teams up with her sisters and PI Michael Hogan to dig into the sham Bob has been living for years. The more she learns, the worse the betrayal. A drug trafficking history, a fortune in cash, and a secret family all emerge to turn Juliet’s belief system on its head, and threaten the things she loves. Are she and her sisters skilled enough as sleuths to get to the truth?

My Review:

Reading this book, I knew it was going to be a nail biter in some parts.  The back cover told me that the husband was murdered in front of his wife and it really does start off with a bang.

The entire book I was mourning for his wife.  It was a sad book with more and more drama upon every page.  I guess I just was not in the mood for such a sorrowful book.  I wanted there to be some positives even in the middle of the negatives.  I kind of felt like I knew what was going to happen at the end, which I cannot tell you – or it would be a major spoiler.

The book itself was very easy to read and the story was super simple to follow.  The characters were believable and I felt like I was a fly on the wall watching their every move.  The author did do a great job of telling a story.

I even let my teenage son read it – although I would say it is for a more mature audience.

As for the stars – I would give it a 3, I did like it.  I don’t think I could read it again though…mostly because of the depression I would get.
