Julius Arkwright, a wealthy investment advisor, has two rules: Trust no one and Everyone has a hidden agenda. When the Chief of Police of Cloud Lake, Washington and his wife set him up on a blind date, he becomes entangled in the dubious affairs of one Grace Elland. When she was sixteen, Grace discovered a murder scene and rescued a small boy. She has just discovered her murdered boss and is one of many suspects. A vodka bottle at the scene, e-mails from the dead boss's account, a vindictive heiress, embezzled money...and romantic tension escalate the plot... Quirky, interesting, secondary characters, a plethora of affirmative statements, a tension-filled-revenge-fueled plot, and a multiplicity of suspects and crimes make this one captivating read.
(Two of the quirky characters have outstanding gardens and actively compete with each other for supremacy.)
"Love changes everything."
"There was some natural, built-in competition between positive thinkers, just as there was between gardeners."
