What not a single review on pbs? Hard to imagine.

Sophie Littlefield is a talented author who writes the BAD day for...series. If you have read that Bad day series and liked it, as I did. Then maybe you are ready to see what else the author wrote.

This book is set in 1978. Patti is about to get married in a few days. She has moved back home with her mother Lucy to get ready for the wedding. Lucy is visited by an officer because a man is dead, and suicide is suspected, but Lucy was seen near the area when this happened.

Then we flash back to WWII and learn about how Lucy knew this man, in the Japanese American concentration camps in California.

This is a well told story that flips back from the 1940s to 1978. Patti is doing some of the investigation, and Lucy starts to tell her about her past.

There are some great surprise endings. I really enjoyed the book. You really didnt see any similarities in the Bad Day series and this book that would even lead me to believe this was the same author. Both are equally good books.
