From Amazon -
"The death of a beautiful woman ... an arrogant man who claimed to be her suitor but was probably her murderer ... a cop accused of planting evidence ... and a town steeped in secrets and shadows. Deputy Annie Broussard is still haunted by the case of Pamela Bichon. The killer walked free, and Annie can't forget the sight of Pamela's mutilated body. But her obsessive search for justice lands her with a dilemma where she must defend or accuse a fellow cop ..."

An excellent thriller.

Taken to the Loughborough meet.

Picked up at the Amber Rooms, Loughborough at the mini meet- up. It sounds good!

Apologies for taking so long to read this book. I forgot it was one I picked up at my first and only meet up in Loughborough. I really enjoyed this book. It was a really good thriller which had me guessing right up to the end. I thought that the character of Annie Broussard was an interesting one and I admired her courage for standing up to her colleagues and not swaying from what she believed was right.

I found the book, carefully wrapped, at the statue of St Anthony and his goat, on Beacon Hill this morning. I had told my Swiss friend about Bookcrossing and on the last morning of her holiday she saw it in action - great! There were 2 other books at the top of the hill but I decided not to be greedy....

Book left on the Peter Leadbeater sculpture at the entrance to Beacon Hill. Unfortunately I didn't get home in time to make release notes before it was picked up and journalled. Happy reading and welcome to the wonderful world of Bookcrossing!

I only read a couple of chapters of this novel - I found the language attributed to many of the characters offensive enough to prevent my enjoying the read. Hope whoever finds it will be more tolerant than I.
