She’s pursued the most dangerous news stories around the world. But can she survive going home?
Injured
in a bombing, war correspondent Kate Tessler returns to her hometown in
Arizona to recover. For the first time in her life, she's starting to
feel her age of nearly fifty despite living like a teenager again:
staying in her childhood bedroom with only a cat for company, trying to
understand why her sister resents her so much, and running into people
who still refer to her as Kitty. The hardest part? Seeing her once-sharp
and witty mother stuck in an Alzheimer's unit.
When an old
friend asks her to investigate suspicious deaths at the nursing home,
Kate limps into action. Is a self-appointed "Angel of Mercy" killing
patients to end their suffering? Are family members hastening their
inheritance? Is an employee extorting money and removing the witnesses?
Kate uses her journalism skills to track clues, but the puzzle pieces
simply won’t fit.
If Kate can't uncover the truth quickly, her mother could be next on the killer's list.
My Review:
An amazing start to a new mystery series.
Kate Tessler’s life has taken on a drastic change. As a journalist, Kate has traveled to world over
the last 30 years. Now she is back home
in Arizona nursing the wounds she suffered during her last assignment. As Kate reconnects with family and old
friends, she is also investigating a series of suspicious deaths at the nursing
home where her mother is staying. Along with
an unlikely team of helpers, Kate puts all of her investigating tools to work
to find out what is happening to the residents at Sunshine Haven before someone
ends up dead.
Buckle up, because this book is a wild ride. Just when you think you know who the killer is, you’ll soon be looking for another suspect. I had a hard time figuring out who it was and was surprised when the killer was finally revealed. I also liked seeing how Kate reconnected with her father and sister. I look forward to reading more books from this author.
