Private Detectives, Tess Monagham and Sandy Sanchez, have been hired to set up security detail for a new glamorous and wealthy client, who has a dark past. The client, Melisandre Harris Dawes left Baltimore a decade ago after killing her two-month-old daughter and being acquitted by reason of criminal insanity. Now she is back in town creating a documentary about the tragic event with the goal of clearing her name and reuniting with her two surviving teenage daughters. However the plans for the Documentary and the return to Baltimore is jeopardized when a stalker starts leaving cryptic notes.This mystery/suspense is not really a "did she do it" story, more like "why did she do it". Using transcripts of the interviews that were filmed for the documentary makes a fun way for the reader to get pieces of the story one at a time. The book is intriguing, fast-paced, and keeps you guessing. It also explores the topics of infanticide and the use of criminal insanity pleas in high profile court cases.
