Description

Lawyer Stephanie Ann "Sam" McRae's stay in Ocean City for the annual Maryland bar association convention turns into a busman's holiday when her best friend Jamila is arrested for a murder she didn't commit. All signs point to a frame, but Jamila's local counsel must plea bargain, placing a permanent stain on the ambitious attorney's spotless record, unless Sam and the private investigator on the case find evidence to clear her.

Sam has her work cut out for her, since the victim is the stepson of a local wealthy entrepreneur and poultry producer and no one will talk to her, including their own investigator. Even Jamila appears to be withholding information. Meanwhile, Sam's running from mysterious pursuers and comes under police scrutiny when another murder takes place. With the clock ticking down to the convention and preliminary hearing, Sam must uncover secrets, lies, and fraud to find the real killer. At what cost will that knowledge come for Sam?

Stephanie (Sam) McRae is attending the annual bar association convention .. something she really didn't want to do. But here she is ..and sure enough .. trouble is brewing.

Her best friend, Jamila, is arrested for murder that she says she didn't do. Sam thinks that all the 'evidence' they have points to Jamila being framed for this crime.

Sam teams up with a private investigator and finds that no one will talk to them. The victim is the stepson of a very wealthy local businessman. And thinks only get worse when Sam realizes the Jamila may be keeping secrets.

It's like wading through quicksand to cut through all the lies, secrets, ,,, and then another body is found.

I confess .. I haven't read the first two books in this series.... something I will soon be doing. Same is a great series character. She's a strong woman, fearless in he determination to see justice done, and she is so likeable. She's willing to go wherever she needs to in order to fight for her friend's innocence .. and bring closure to the families of the victims.

This is well written with credible characters, and some surprising twists along the way. This one kept me glued to the pages and left me wanting more.

Many thanks to the author/ BooksGoSocial / Netgalley for the digital copy of this mystery. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Starts off a slow burner but picks up pace real quick and pulls you in wondering what twist or unexpected turn is about to happen and left me guessing. The characters are easy to get into and likeable which made it all the more enjoyable for me.
