Charlotte’s life has turned in a negative direction. Through the death of a patient she has changed her career from a neurosurgery resident to an acupuncturist and that isn’t doing very well. She shares office space with her friend Rachael, but Rachael seems distant and distracted. She has problems of her own.
Charlotte has a boyfriend, Peter, but she hasn’t seen him in three weeks. She’s worried, but hopeful he’ll return. Then she gets a call from the police to identify a body. She’s afraid it’s Peter, but when she arrives, the body is that of a woman she doesn’t know. The police have zeroed in on her because the woman had her information of a card to contact in case of emergency.
With no other suspects, the police zero in on Charlotte. She protests her innocence, but the identity of the woman makes them more sure that it’s Charlotte.
This is a rather complicated story told from several points of view: Charlotte, Rachael, and the police investigators. I found it interesting to look at the case from the various points of view. It added to the tension.
Charlotte has so many hangups it was hard to like her, but she was perfect for the suspect in the case. Rachael was easier to like, but the fact that she had her own secrets made her a difficult friend.The investigative team was tenacious in their pursuit of the solution. I enjoyed their interaction.
This is an action packed thriller that will keep you guessing.
I received this book from Dutton for this review.
