In the beginning of the twentieth century, two women are united through grief and the determination to uncover the truth. Lily Ross’s husband Daniel, the town sheriff has been killed in a prisoner transfer. Marevna Whitcomb, unaware of Daniels’s death, knock on Lily’s door, looking for Daniel’s help in finding her lost daughter. While at first Lily is determined to avenge her husband’s murder, together, she and Marvena discover that Daniel had many secrets and was not the man he appeared to be. I loved this story, in part because it was inspired by the real story of Ohio’s first female sheriff, bust also because Montgomery is a hell of a writer
