Synopsis

Lotty Brooks’ days consist of avoiding thoughts of her failing marriage, changing diapers, and trying not to eat chocolate brioche for breakfast and lunch. However, everything changes when her perfect, lakeside Montana neighborhood begins bustling with crime and she seems to be the target.

Jason Brooks wants to know what happened to the woman he married. Lotty’s a mere shell of her former self. When she becomes the focal point of neighborhood threats, and the town seems to question her innocence, he must decide how well he knows his wife.

As Jason and Lotty try to get to the bottom of the threats and find those responsible, they’ll need to remember what they once loved about each other. Otherwise, they may lose everything and everyone they care about.

Review

This book kept me on the edge of my seat! I did not want to put it down and snuck in a few pages while at work (shhh don’t tell my boss!)

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but this mystery/suspense novel has everything you could want – intrigue, a mystery to solve, romance, and even a scheming mother.

Lotty and Jason are like any other couple and have their ups and downs. For most of the book, it is more of a down period due to some misunderstandings. As I read along I wondered why they didn’t just talk to each other about what was going on in their relationship. Of course, that would not have made the story as enjoyable.

The mystery was rather intriguing and while I sort of guessed who was involved, it was only because I couldn’t pin it on anyone else. The author does a great job of weaving the mystery tale and throwing in many red herrings to throw the reader off track.

Definitely check this book out, you’ll be glad you did!  We give it 5 paws up
