I loved, loved, loved this book. It's part mystery, part family story and completely unputdownable. Ryan Grace is running a podcast about cold cases when she receives a mysterious phone call from her much older sister Wendy who is running away from a murder investigation. Wendy refuses to tell Ryan anything about her situation,but asks her to go to her parents home where her two daughters are staying and to take care of them while her father recovers from heart surgery. Ryan has had little to do with the girls so when Ryan gets there the two girls are unresponsive to her, but, as time goes by, they begin to open up and develop a relationship. With the help of her podcast staff Ryan begins to figure out what Wendy is running from and to try to help. She is also able to reconnect with Teo, her former boyfriend who lost his leg while saving Ryan's life. This mixture of family and mystery will draw you in from the very beginning and hold your interest all the way through. Emilie Richards has crafted another winner.

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
The story is slow to build, and it really is more about the relationship between the sisters than the actual murder. Good if you’re in the mood for straight up women’s fiction, not so much if you’re looking for suspense

I spent the first part of this novel frustrated by the actions of all of the main characters, but I am glad I kept reading as I really enjoyed the original twists at the end.

Sisters Wendy and Ryan are as different as two women can be, they have been that way all their lives. Wendy has the perfect family with two children while Ryan is alone. But when Wendy is afraid she will be falsely accused of murder, Ryan is the one she calls. Ryan drops everything to care for her niece, allowing her sister time to “disappear “. Using the skills that have made he. Successful podcaster, Ryan begins poking around and starts to wonder if her perfect sister is s liar……or worse
