I was wrapped up in the mystery from the beginning. I liked the characters, and I was surprised when the murderer’s identity was revealed. The clues were all there, they were just skillfully hidden.
Kali O’Brien has returned to her home town after leaving a prestigious job in San Fransisco. Running her own show is good, but getting business is hard. She agrees to help out an old friend with a case defending a killer the whole town thinks is guilty. The case may be high profile, but not everyone is happy that she’s involved.
I recommend this if you like a cozy mystery with an edge.

This is a B grade mystery with some technical problems about DNA analysis that might be because it was published in 1979. It's fine for a beach or plane ride, but overall not satisfying.
Not a bad book, but the ending was a little weak
