Flawed heroes are a staple in fiction, and Lily Forrester, the protagonist, has her share of secrets that threaten to surface when her ex-husband demands her legal help to avoid a drunken vehicular homicide charge. As a Santa Barbara district attorney, Lily must navigate this precarious situation while her daughter, Shana, a UCLA student, becomes implicated as the only other suspect in the hit-and-run. Complications escalate when Lily's ex is murdered shortly after she bails him out, with Shana discovering the body and becoming a prime suspect. Adding to the tension, Shana is being stalked by the psychopath who assaulted both her and Lily six years prior. The plot thickens with a wrongful murder, a retired cop who lied to protect Lily, and a charming lawyer still in love with her despite knowing her darkest secrets. The pacing is brisk, keeping the mystery engaging, although the characters may feel somewhat superficial, lacking emotional depth. The dynamic between Lily and Shana appears particularly simplistic given their shared trauma, and Lily's moral dilemmas remain unresolved, even after being cleared of a murder she committed. Nonetheless, fans of the author are likely to appreciate this latest suspense thriller.
