The Kate Burkholder Series is one of my favorite series and this 9th installment did not disappoint. It's always fun to visit Painter's Mill through her books each year. I found this one to be well-written about a childhood friend of Kate's who is accused of murdering his wife and Kate is bound and determined to prove his innocence. More about Kate's childhood and past is revealed and we are told that Joseph, the man accused of murdering his wife, was Kate's teenage love interest. In order to prove Joseph's innocence, Kate finds her life is also in danger and she has a close brush with death. There are lots of twists and turns which added to the suspense and kept the pages turning until the very surprise ending. Her relationship with Tomasetti continues to move forward as he is always there to help her through her rough moments. These books should be read in order as one builds upon the other. I now look forward to the next in the series and I would highly recommend this book to those who like mystery suspense.
