by B. A. Paris

Have you ever read a B. A. Paris book? They are pretty thrilling typically. This one was a good story but didn’t twist until the very end.

Iris and Gabriel are recovering from Gabriel finding Charlie Ingram dead in the quarry when they arrive home to their best friend Laure is at their house unexpectedly. They find out that Laure and her husband Pierre have fallen on hard times, and Laure felt like she needed time away to think things through.

Though they welcome her with open arms, there comes a point where they feel she has started to overstay her welcome. Gabriel is faced with meeting with Charlie’s mother and the neighbor’s gardener is an odd character in all of this.

At the end of the book, there are three bodies, no murdered (until the epilogue) and lots of questions about what’s going on. I would give this one 4 stars because while the story was good and kept me guessing, it kept me guessing in a sort of bad way. Like get to the point, or when is the twist coming?
