Everything about her reminds him of what he used to have with Molly. Widower Jack Harris has resisted the dating scene ever since the shooting of his wife Molly by a fifteen-year-old boy three years ago. An early morning run along the Hudson River changes that when he spots a woman in last night’s party dress, barefoot, enjoying a champagne picnic alone, reading his favorite novel. Twenty years ago she ruined his life. Now she has the chance to save it. I’m now looking forward to reading the rest of Burke’s backlist.Ī woman agrees to help an old boyfriend who has been framed for murder - but begins to suspect that she is the one being manipulated. Luckily, my second novel by the author was more engaging.

The first novel I read by Alafair Burke, The Ex, left me feeling a bit dissatisfied.

A stand-alone and first in an earlier series
