At four years old, Olivia McBride witnessed her father standing over her mother's bloody body, holding a knife. Olivia ran and hid from him until a police detective found her in a closet. Olivia was sent to live with her grandparents at their home on the edge of Olympic National Park.
True crime writer Noah Brady wants to write the story about the murder of movie star Julie McBride. Noah grew up hearing about the murder. His father was the lead detective on the case. Julie's husband, actor Sam Tanner, was convicted of her murder and has spent twenty years in prison. When Noah contacts Olivia, she is upset. She wants nothing to do with the book and doesn't want to be reminded of her mother's murder. But Sam has been released from prison and wants his story old.
This is an older Nora Roberts book that I hadn't had a chance to read when it came out. The first 30% of the story was on the slow side, setting up the story and getting to know the characters. The pace picked up when Noah decides to write about the famous murder. The story was heavy on romance, but there was some suspense. We also got some in-depth description of Olympic National Park and the rain forest. My rating: 4 Stars.
