Throughout the investigation Sharon cannot shake the feeling that they are missing things and things just don't add up. Against everybody's advice, she reopens the 10 year old case of Leila Bentley's death even though a man is on death row charged with her murder. With the help of the coroner, Nick, they convince the others that it is worth looking into. Even when they pick up an employee from the school for the murder of Carrie Sommers, the Sheriff is still not convinced.
You will LOVE this book, The story is well written and captivates you as soon as you begin reading it. You will keep like you are a resident of Diamond Springs who wants justice for the 2 murders.
