This story was a little too slow for me. I really like the idea behind the story, but I just had a hard time relating to the characters and couldn’t commit. It also seemed to jump around too much between the main characters past and present without much explanation. I really wanted to like this one :(

Reporter Whit McKenna and her best friend, medical examiner Katie Riggs come together when actress Niki Francis is found dead in a shallow grave. Whit needs some support after the loss of her husband and her friend Katie provides both a shoulder, and insight into the murder. At first it seems the victim was targeted because of her celebrity status, but two more bodies put that theory on ice. Together the two friends work to uncover a killer while trying not to become victims themselves. It’s refreshing to read a book that makes women the heroes, not the targets, and while more and more books are starting to explore this dynamic, Greer does it particularly well
