Whoa! What a page turner! I devoured this book. The story is told from multiple POV-primarily Spahy and Fern. Spahy was dealt a rough hand in life. She was born with a congenital heart defect, and she lost both of her parents. A heart transplant gives her a new look at life. Fern is an ER resident, always living in her sister’s shadow, trying to earn the approval of her parents until her sister is murdered. I was really invested in these characters as they tried to figure out who killed Fern’s sister, Flora. Both are strong female characters determined to get to the bottom of the murder.
This is @TeriTerryWrites first adult psychological thriller, and I hope it’s not her last! I’m looking forward to more! I really liked this one and highly recommend you give it a try!
