Description
Attorney Gail Connor is out to save a wrongly convicted man from execution in this "thought-provoking mystery" from the New York Times-bestselling author (Publishers Weekly). No one in the quiet coastal town of Stuart, Florida, can forget what happened twelve years ago. Notorious local Kenny Ray Clark brutally murdered a young wife and mother, and was righteously sentenced to death for the crime. But Kenny's grandmother, Gail's former housekeeper, won't believe it. So she goes to the only show more person who can help get her grandson off death row. It doesn't take Gail--or her fiancé, fellow attorney Anthony Quintana--long to see that the entire case was built on quicksand. The problem is that there are some very powerful people who don't want Kenny to go free. They want to keep the past buried. And if Gail doesn't watch her step, they'll bury her right along with it. This sixth in the bestselling Suspicion series, authored by an Edgar Award finalist and former Florida state prosecutor, guarantees that "once readers are pulled in by the intricate plot . . . they won't want to skip a word" (Publishers Weekly). Suspicion of Vengeance is the 6th book in the Suspicion series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. show lessTags

The action got lost in too many words. The plot was interesting so I kept reading. The foreshadowing was very nicely done.
Twelve years ago, in the quiet coastal town of Stuart, Florida, a beautiful young wife and mother was savagely murdered, stabbed twenty-seven times in her own bed one sunny morning. Kenny Ray Clark, a local troublemaker with a felony record, was quickly arrested, tried, found quilty, and sentenced to death.
When new evidence comes to light, Miami attorney Gail Connor agrees to take the case, although her fiance, Anthoney Quintana, a top criminal defense lawyer, warns her not to get involved.
