A fun story of love, murder and secrets that can ruin everything.
When a white woman is found murdered by a black man inside a church in rural South Carolina, it ends up being the case of a lifetime for attorney Zach Stander. This case ties in with two cold cases from nearby and with a killer on the loose and secrets at every corner, this ends up being a case that will change everyone dealing with it.
This book reminded me a lot of A Time To Kill, the tension and racial issues throughout. I enjoyed the way Cleveland weaved the strands of the different cases together. There were moments throughout that kept me on my toes and made me smile at the way it was revealed. As a debut novel I was surprised at how well this was done and the way The dynamic between Zach and Addie was a back and forth that kept me invested in not only them but what they were trying to do to help Sam and that right there is what makes for a great story that holds my interest. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good crime thriller with cold cases and deep dark secrets.
