Review
Victoria agreed to marry Brad Reynolds after only a month
of dating, thinking her dreams of a happily ever after are about to come true.
After leaving her job and moving across the country with Brad, she finally
meets his adorable son, Andy, and his mother, Madeline. Her mother-in-law,
however, isn’t exactly what she hoped for. As Victoria’s life begins to
unravel, she realizes she’s made a hasty and possibly dangerous mistake. Though
she loves Brad and now Andy, she can’t stay in Madeline’s household forever,
but leaving isn’t an easy thing to do.
Wow! What a great mystery. Victoria is definitely a
strong woman for putting up with all the crap she did. I felt sorry for Brad.
His mother has manipulated and brawl beat him all his life, so it’s no wonder
he was a weak man and obedient son. I couldn’t respect him at all. Madeline,
though the villain, was the most interesting character in the story. She was so
controlling and vicious, a great actress. The climax kept me on the edge of my
seat. Really entertaining!
I don’t normally read mysteries, but the blurb for this
story sounded interesting. If you love a good sabotage and murder mystery, give
this book a chance!
