Tessa Leoni is arrested for murdering her husband Brian. The police find her with bruises and a cracked skull. Tessa claims Brian was attacking her and she shot him in self defense, but veteran detective D.D. Warren is not so sure this case is what it seems. The book moves at a pretty fast pace with the detectives uncovering bits and pieces about Tessa life to string the reader on. I liked that the author created two very strong, independent women (Tessa and Detective Warren) who both have jobs in the police force; but the author does not use cliches or the tired "superwoman" cop character. The two women have their strengths and vulnerabilities like REAL women do.
If you can suspend belief and just go with the plot that Tessa is able to break out of jail, due to careful preplanning; then you will enjoy the second half of the book which is full of chases, shooting, explosions, etc.
