An enthralling, thrilling story by Ms. Bolton, just as I expected from her. The first book I read by this author was Little Black Lies which left me breathless.
This book is impossible to put down, as you meet Maggie Rose, a well known attorney who specializes in cases to get murderers out of prison, guilty or not. Maggie is a thin, good looking women with bright blue hair and a little quirky as she is known to talk to herself. She is also the author of several mystery books, mostly cases she's solved.
Maggie decides to take on Hamish Wolfe's case, a very handsome medical doctor, imprisoned for killing three woman. He talks her into trying to clear his name and to write his story.
The story continues involving Detective Pete Weston who made the case against Hamish and doesn't want it overturned. Maggie and Pete become somewhat close, and you are made to think a growing relationship is brewing.
There are many twists and turns abound, things are never what they seem to be. This is a dark and breath-taking novel with such a shocking ending, I was blown away!! Never saw it coming! What An Ending!
Sharon Bolton has become one of my favorite authors!

Over a year ago, Dr. Hamish Wolfe was convicted of the murders of four women. Three of the bodies were found in caves that Hamish knew like the back of his hand. Evidence pointed to him as the murderer. Now Hamish and a group of supporters have asked Maggie Rose, an attorney and true-crime writer, to look into his conviction. She is reluctant at first; but after meeting Hamish she makes up her mind to look at the evidence.
I've read a lot of glowing reviews about this book, so I was excited to get my hands on it. Much of the story is told through letters, case files, and newspaper articles. I jumped between being bored with part of the story to being entertained, then back again. I thoroughly disliked Hamish and his manipulations. I didn't understand why Maggie would ever decide to help him prove his innocence. A couple of times I was ready to DNF the book and read something else. I thought Maggie was ridiculous at times and couldn't follow her logic. Thankfully, I stuck it out and finished the book. It has a shocker of an ending that I didn't see coming at all. And it made some of Maggie's questionable choices make sense.
So, if you decide to read this book and are having a hard time getting into the story, just stick with it. It's worth it. My rating: 4 Stars.
