Margot Starling was a super-successful artist, with a reputation for being a difficult person and very financially wealthy. However, Margot's story takes a tragic turn when she is found in her apartment hanging in an alleged suicide.
And I say alleged because her parents don’t believe that was happen and therefore decide to hire P.I. Kate Myles, an ex-cop from Los Angeles to investigate the details of the event and give a more accurate explanation.
Myles has her own story to tell, while she was a police officer, she was involved in a terrible accident that affected her spine, which led to a medical retirement. Then she became a painkillers addict, her marriage went down the drain and she managed to lose custody of her little daughter.
Searching for the truth of the Starling case will lead Myles to look beyond the appearances of many people, including her former co-workers.
Mystery in every chapter of this first book by Alex Kenna is fully present and fascinating. I don't think there is ever a moment when the reader gets bored and stops concocting a thousand theories.
Two factors prevent me from rating it with 5 stars, the use of the word now when narrating in the past tense doesn’t make sense. Also, the use of several narrators, I think this story should have been told only by Kate and Margot.
However, I will continue to keep an eye out for upcoming Ms. Kenna releases.

I was very pleased that This book was provided to me via Kindle, Crooked Lane Books, and #NetGalley. Thanks to all.
From debut author Alex Kenna comes a pulse-pounding tapestry of secrets, retribution, and greed. Alex Kenna writes as though he has been doing it a very long time. The story was unusually paced just right... to keep the story very true and full of suspense. I say, MORE!! Loved it, kudos to a wonderful writer.
