About the Book:

A husband's lies can have deadly consequences.

When Juliet Cole's husband of fifteen years is murdered before her eyes, she thinks it was a random shooting. Devastated and traumatized, she answers hours of questioning, then returns home to break the tragic news to her boys. But a threatening voicemail takes this from a random shooting to a planned, deliberate attack.

Juliet realizes that she and her children are in danger too, unless she meets the killers' demands. But as she and her sisters untangle the clues, her husband's dark secrets come to light. The more she learns, the more of her life is dismantled. Was her husband an innocent victim or a hardened criminal?







My Rating & Thoughts:    

Book 2 of the Moonlighter series. This book picks up a couple months after book 1 ends. It starts out with a bang, literally, right in chapter one Juliet witnesses the murder of her husband. As the three sisters and friend, Michael, begin to investigate his death they unravel things about his life that none of them knew or suspected. As they dig deeper and deeper, the lives of her children are threatened by those who don't want her to know the truth. I felt for Juliet as the life she knew came crashing down around her and she tried to pick up the pieces, move forward and also make sure the guilty people where held responsible. I was surprised to find out who was the one that had recruited Juliet's husband into this whole situation. And then for Michael to be punished for trying to do the right thing, so not right, this better be rectified in the next book. The story held my interest the whole way through and moved at a good pace.

(I was purchased my copy of this book; opinions expressed
