Helpful Score: 2
The Liz Sullivan books by Lora Roberts are always good and this one is no exception. The action takes place at Liz' parents' home, and in addition to the suspense related to the murder, it focuses a lot on her relationships with her family members. Excellent.
For the first time in years, struggling freelance writer Liz Sullivan is headed home to Denver to visit her estranged family. No sooner does she arrive than her former husband's dead body is delivered to her father's front porch with a bullet between the eyes. Since Liz once tried to kill her violently abusive husband, the police assume she has finally succeeded. Her relatives are furious at this new disgrace, and only Liz's new hard-won self-respect keeps her going, as she desperately tried to discover what vicious new shenanigans might have caused her ex's death - without causing her own.
