Nearly emotionally paralyzed by the possible loss of his wife, Brady finds himself unable to see patients in his orthopedic practice, and he finds an excuse to be of help to a detective with the Houston Police Department, Susan Beeson, who just happens to be Mary Louise’s best friend. They work together on solving the case of a doctor’s wife who was murdered about the same time as Mary Louise was in her accident. The cases seem to have some things in common besides the timing of the murder and the accident. The murdered woman is the only daughter of a wealthy Houston philanthropist, so the pressure is intense on Detective Beeson to reach a quick conclusion to her investigation.
In short, the unfolding of this plot is very well written. It will be obvious once you’re read it why the ending to the story literally brought me to tears, something that most novels do not do to me. The characters are all compelling and believable, some good guys, some very bad ones.
At the end of the book, there’s a teaser for the sixth book in the series, and I can hardly wait to get my hands on that one.
