As she'd grown, Sloane relived that night over and over in her mind, and based on those memories always secretly feared that her father had murdered and hidden her mother's body. As soon as high school graduation was over, Sloane had fled town without a word to anyone including Micah, the boy she'd been going with, and her best friend, Paige.
Sloane had gone to New York City and, luckily for her, was discovered by a kind and honest agent who launched her into a highly successful modeling career. Now at loose ends after her beloved mentor's death, Sloane is going back home for the first time in 10 years to ferret out the truth of the night her mother disappeared.
Sloane walked out without a word on the four most important people in her life: her father, her brother, her boyfriend, and her best friend, and must confront those relationships when she's back in town. Her father and brother believe she's back to ruin her father, now the town's mayor, with her suspicions. Complicating matters, Micah and Paige had gotten together after her abrupt departure, had a child, and had only recently divorced.
With Micah now a police officer in town, and her father and brother both trying to block her probing into the past, Before We Were Strangers is tense, exciting, and provides a satisfying number of twists and turns. Part mystery, part thriller, part second-chance romance, author Brenda Novak has created an engrossing novel of what happened and who done it. Readers should be entertained!By page 100 I was bored and started skipping and skimming finally hit the point I found out all I needed to know without trudging through all the boredom of terrible writing---but then she writes romances not thrillers so I'm sure a lot will like this book
