"I believe anyone could be capable of murder if the circumstances were just right. But to deliberately set out to take a life---to plan it just so---is something else altogether."
-Detective Richard Montrose, from the nove
Finley O'Sulllivan is a former attorney, having lost that position due to a meltdown in court, which was understandable considering she had suffered an unspeakable personal trauma. She is now working as an investigator with Jack Finnegan, an attorney who happens to be her godfather.
When a convicted killer recants his confession, he points to the daughter of the victim, Lance Legard, a country music mogul in Music City (Nashville). Although Jack has a personal connection to the widow, Sophia, he takes on the defense of her twin daughters which of course, involves Finley's investigative powers. She has her work cut out for her as she sifts through countless lies (I'm not sure what the LAST lie told was!) from almost everyone involved. At the same time, Finley is consumed with bringing the murderers of her husband to justice. On top of that, she discovers her much-loved husband may have lied to her.
I was pretty much gripped by the plot until the end which I found very confusing. Because of that, my rating is a 3.
