BLURB:

Is her grandmother guilty of murder?

Kyara finds herself pulled into the past needing to solve a 30-year-old crime to determine if it has anything to do with her mom’s recent attack. Kyara is desperately trying to find the one woman who just might have answers – her convicted and recently released from jail, grandmother. She is elusive but seems to be leading Kyara on a path to right some wrongs. Those responsible though, will go to any lengths to keep their secret buried and silence those who know anything. Kyara finds herself locked in a battle but she’s just not sure who really is the enemy. Is Ryan, who’s not who he says he is, there to help her or to stop her at all costs?

Time is of the essence as the golf course that looks pristine and beautiful… is also deadly.

My Review:

It 's a truly gripping thriller full of action and suspense involving three generations of women of a family.

Her mother is in a coma and her grandmother in prison: Kyara is very confused, what hides her family? Her grandmother was sentenced for a crime she did not commit, now wants revenge and Kyara is forced to discover some secrets about her family, to understand what really happened. But she must do it quickly because she is in danger. Of who she can really trust?

The plot is well developed and well woven, the pace is fast with many twists and turns. There are many characters and this creates a bit of confusion at the beginning but with the passage of the pages makes reading much more interesting. It's really a total page turner and I can't wait to get to the end to find out the truth.

Highly recommended

EXCERPT:

"That's all you've got? Nothing? No one? And no reason? You're telling me this is random?" Kyara pushed to her feet knowing this was a waste of time. Before she could move though, the door opened and another police officer came into the room. He nodded at the other one who got up and left. He then closed the door. Kyara's eyes widened.

"Have a seat please."

It didn't sound like a request but an order. Kyara tentatively sat down, never taking her eyes off him. Something had shifted. There was something very ominous about the man, she just wasn't sure if it was his overly bushy eyebrows, his military cut steel grey hair, his six foot five, two-hundred-and-fifty-pound frame, the rigid way he was holding himself or the hard look on his face. She almost got the feeling they felt she was guilty. Realizing he was talking, she pulled her mind back to the conversation.

"...please tell me about your relationship with Elizabeth Wilson?"

It dawned on her that she'd missed who he was, his rank and what this was about. But that wasn't something she was about to ask him to repeat. Her stomach felt weighted with rocks. "Uh, she's my grandmother." What has she done now?

"And where is she?"

"What?"

"You know she got out of prison a while ago?"

"Yes."

"Well she hasn't shown up for her parole meetings for the last month. Any idea where she is?"

"No." One thing Getty had taught her was to keep your answers short and then they'd never come back to bite her.

"Any idea where she might be?"

"No."

"Have you seen her?"

"No." Kyara clasped her hands tightly into fists.

"If you hear from her, you'll let us know?"

"Yes."

The policeman stared at her with a look that almost had her diving under the table but she could hear Getty telling her to grow a backbone and not let anyone intimidate her. She felt like a bowl of mush on the inside but sat rigidly looking in his direction just not directly into his eyes. It was another tip her grandmother had given her, as a way of standing up to someone without really intimidating them but not really backing down either. Finally, he stood up, so Kyara followed suit.

"If you hear from Elizabeth, please let us know."

Kyara nodded, "I will. And you'll let me know when you've caught the person who damn near killed my mom, right?"
