Search - Woman in Red

Three families, three generations, plenty of intrigue, twists and turns. thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I thought this book was wonderful. It's easily comparable to a Jodi Picoult novel. This was different from her first books. I hope to see more of the same from her.

Alice Kessler spent nine years in prison for the attempted murder of the drunk driver who killed her eldest son. Now she has returned home to Gray's Island to reconnect with the son she left behind. Her little boy, Jeremy, an angry teenager now, is wrongly accused of rape, and so mother and son are thrown together in a desperate attempt to prove his innocence. At the same time, Alice must battle the man responsible for putting her behind bars, who has since become the mayor of her hometown. She is aided by Colin McGinty, a recovering alcoholic and 9/11 widower.

Interesting but not as gripping as I expected. The issues/conflict were intense but they were resolved too easily or quietly. Good character development.
