I really enjoyed this book. I didn't figure it out until almost the end, so was more impressed with everything than in the first one. Even though I enjoyed both books! I'm starting on the 3rd one now...!

Detective Stan Shepard lies comatose in the hospital, a victim of arsenic poisoning. The Newpointe police have a suspect: Celia Shepherd, Stan's wife. Celia is no stranger to such charges. When her first husband died of poisoning, a technicality scuttled the case against her, and Celia got off scot-free. Now it looks like the same old story, only this time, the motive appears plain. An old flame has moved into town under circumstances bound to raise suspicion. And, that's just for starters. More evidence is gathering that can put Celia away for good.
But attorney Jill Clark thinks the pieces of the puzzle fit together a bit too neatly. Either her client's Christian faith is a sham, or she's the victim of a deadly frame-up-and the real killeris still afoot.
Excellent book from start to finish, like all of Terri Blackstock's books.

This was a great book. Better than the first.
A poisoned past. A bitter present. Is Celia a murderer....or a victim?
