When newly retired Tracy Waterhouse sees a known "working girl" dragging a young girl through a mall while berating the youngster, she makes a split decision. She offers the woman $3,000 pounds in exchange for the girl. Kelly jumps at the money that Tracy was planning on paying the contractor at her house. Now Tracy, unmarried and childless, is in possession of young girl who hardly speaks but seems easy going enough. That exchange, witnessed by two other people and the security cameras, is just the beginning of the story that stretches back to a murder decades earlier.
This is part of the Jackson Brody series, and my book club's selection for November. The story seemed rambling and disjointed to me. Without having read the previous books, this one didn't fill in the back story enough. I'd suggest reading the series in order to get the most out of this story.
