Jennifer does it again. Had me totally stumped until the end of the book. LOVED the interaction between Max and Sarah. Loved how it ends and am looking forward to the another novel! I am a fan! This is a book that is good for 16 and up. Some violence, mild sexual conduct (nothing explicit). Wonderful story for anyone looking for a GREAT mystery! Jennifer please keep me in mind when you write the next one!
I was following along until the "massage and Max part" this book sounds like scandals. Look forward to reading

They were not at all actually. Sarah is a legit massage therapist and is torn between her loveless marriage and Max. Max is a really cool character. Sarah is torn, conflicted, and comes off very human(flawed and complex). She wants things to work out with her husband for her son and Sarah's love life is secondary to the murder/case/plot in the story. You will have to let me know what you think after you read it.
