What if you were framed for a murder you didn’t commit?

The evidence against her is overwhelming. Forensics and witnesses place her at the scene. But there’s only one problem:

She didn’t do it.

With her family destroyed and a murder sentence looming, Amy must discover who murdered her father-in-law — and why they’re so hell-bent on framing her as the killer.

Amy's day was meant to be spent reading in the garden while her husband took their 2 young sons to the park. Instead ... two cops appear at her doorstep and immediately arrest her for the murder of her father-in-law. She's scared, she's confused, she's worrying about her husband. Her father-in-law was bludgeoned to death. All Amy really knows is that she did not do it. But evidence tells another story ..... With her family destroyed and a murder sentence looming, Amy must discover who murdered her father-in-law — and why they’re so hell-bent on framing her as the killer. This is not the first book I've read by this author and it certainly won't be the last. The story premise is a good one ... the characters may be a little short of being totally credible ... but unforgettable nevertheless. The story bounces back and forth from the present to the past and back again... leading to a surprising ending.
