Synopsis

I know who you really are.

Pru has a secret, which she has no plans to reveal – ever. But after a woman is murdered and all clues point to her, she has no choice but to disclose her true identity. When her revelations help thwart the killer’s plan to frame Pru for the murder, the killer begins stalking her. With each note he sends, he gets closer. The police are stumped. Pru wants to run away. She really, really wants to run, but Ajax has found the woman of his dreams and he’s not letting her go anywhere. He can be patient. In the meantime, he’ll protect her with his life. Pru isn’t feeling very patient, and her friends, Mel and Terri, are definitely not willing to wait until the police uncover who the stalker is. The three friends take matters into their own hands and jump headfirst into the investigation.

Will Pru and her friends uncover her stalker before he turns his violence on Pru?

Review

The gang is back to solve another mystery and this time it focuses on Pru and her past.

I’ve enjoyed getting to know this tight-knit group of characters – Mel, Terri, and Pru are three women that have become fast friends. Pru is new to the group and was roped into the trio in the second book that focused on Mel’s issues. There is also some hunky men in the picture – Owen, Ryder, and Ajax. We learn some fascinating tidbits about Ajax in this book and I loved how he was captivated by Pru and was willing to wait for her to warm up to him in her own time.

The answer to the mystery came out of left field and I don’t know that anyone could have guessed who the culprit is in this story. There is a tiny clue but it may not be much of a clue until you learn who it is and you think back to a situation or two.

I’m still not wild about Mel..she is a loose cannon and all over the board and doesn’t seem to stop and think before she does anything. Mel aside, this is an enjoyable book and my 2nd favorite of the three.

While I don’t think there are any more books planned for this series I’d love to see more of the six main characters again.

We give this 4 paws up!

About the Author

I grew up reading everything I could get my grubby hands on, from my mom’s Harlequin romances to Nancy Drew, to Little Women. When I wasn’t flipping pages in a library book, I was penning horrendous poems, writing songs no one should ever sing, or drafting stories which have thankfully been destroyed. College and a stint in the U.S. Army came along, robbing me of free time to write and read, although on the odd occasion I did manage to sneak a book into my rucksack between rolled up socks, MRIs, t-shirts, and cold weather gear. After surviving the army experience, I went back to school and got my law degree. I jumped ship and joined the hubby in the Netherlands before the graduation ceremony could even begin. A few years into my legal career, I was exhausted, fed up, and just plain done. I quit my job and sat down to write a manuscript, which I promptly hid in the attic after returning to the law. But practicing law really wasn’t my thing, so I quit (again!) and went off to Germany to start a B&B. Turns out running a B&B wasn’t my thing either. I polished off that manuscript languishing in the attic before following the husband to Istanbul where I decided to give the whole writer-thing a go. But ten years was too many to stay away from my adopted home. I packed up again and moved to The Hague where I’m currently working on my next book. I hope I’ll always be working on my next book.
