An intriguing book, well written. Read it straight though.
When a woman goes missing, her husband dead and their child left to the care of family, the person responsible is captured and imprisoned. They think he will never get out, but he does. And proclaims his innocence...and to some, he is innocent. On the grief-stricken families, he casts a shadow of anger and despair. Especially for the orphaned child, now grown, who is forced to re-examine his innocence or guilt.
Nancy Pickard has written a potent tale of love, hate, betrayal and forgiveness that kept this reader turning the pages. I literally could not put this book down. I had to know who-done-it for sure. I find the author's handling of the twists and turns of this story very competent, indeed.
Highly Recommended!
