Synopsis:

For the first time in nearly twenty years, Delhi Laine’s family is whole. But that doesn’t mean everything is back to normal. With no proof to condemn her daughter’s kidnappers, Delhi’s family is forced to share Elisa with her “adopted” parents. But when they suddenly perish in a mysterious house fire, Elisa is heartbroken…and Delhi’s husband, Colin, is charged with their murder. Delhi knows it’s up to her to prove his innocence, but the deeper she digs, the more it becomes evident that nothing is as it seems. When Elisa goes missing, Delhi fears her nightmare may be repeating itself. If she can’t clear Colin’s name and find Elisa again, there may not be another chance. Twenty years ago she lost her daughter…if she fails now, she might lose everything—and everyone—she holds dear.

 

What I Thought:

 

This book was a little hard for me to follow as I didn't read the first Delhi Laine book, which dealt with the return of one of Delhi's grown twin daughters that had been kidnapped.  Judi did give a little background as to what happened with Caitlin/Elisa.  Now the people who kidnapped Elisa have been killed in a house fire, and Delhi's estranged husband is the prime suspect.  This is a well written novel that not only deals with a mystery but has a great family dynamic to it also, it kind of reminds me of the a great family saga.  Judi writes well and makes you care for the characters. 

 

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review.
