This book was written in 1988 when she was really writing books and not just knocking them off in rapid succession. Very suspenseful, quick read and a Mystery Guild Main Selection.
Katie DeMaio, a bright, ambitious, attractive young prosecutor in a small New Yersey town, recently widowed. A driving accident brings her to Westlake Hospital with minor injuries, where she sees-or thinks she sees a familiar figure carrying a woman's body to his car in the middle of the night. When the woman is found dead in her bed the next day and declared a suicide, Katie determines to find out the truth, and soon uncovers the hidden scandals and fears in the lives of a number of people who seem, on the surface, to be solid, respectable citizens.
