This is a character driven novel sent to me on Kindle by Netgalley for a review. It is not a cozy mystery. It is dark and mysterious and at times, one has to concentrate to ascertain what will happen next. I did not love it the way I have other mysteries but others might. Just not my genre.

What a thriller. This book kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page wondering what was going on. The characters are mysterious and deceitful. I highly recommend this book. It’s incredibly enjoyable.

Schaffhausen Introduces a new main character and another blockbuster, edge of your seat thriller. She brings the reader right up to the end before all is revealed! Great book!!
