Domestic thrillers have to have something special for me to enjoy and this one did. Being dumped by her boyfriend was just the beginning of Rowan’s nightmare, as she is soon a suspect in his murder. From process of elimination, I was fairly sure who the killer was, but I didn’t know why, and the killer’s background was also a total surprise because I took the author’s bait and made assumptions. I loved the description of the historic house in Portland, Maine and of the process of the restoration. I really liked Harrison, and while Rowan bugged me at first but by the end of the book I understood why she seemed so aloof and cold.
