It’s a lacklustre ending which I found to be abrupt. Good it’s not long winded but the initial 60% was. Truly felt like a Diva kind of movie.

A writer is murdered and her body hid in a local park. A boutique owner is concerned about her when she fails to show up for her appointment to pick up her new clothes. The boutique owner also happens to be the daughter of the retired police commissioner. This has other subplot built in as well. A crooked designer who uses undocumented aliens to keep his costs low. An ex-husband who has been paying alimony to the well selling author for over 20 years. Was an interesting read that keeps you guessing and pointing fingers to the end in regards to who was the killer. (

This was an ok book, nothing exceptional, but a good read nonethless. Started off a bit slow for me, but towards the middle picked up. (
