Inspector Susan Kovalksy is called out to investigate the murder of Sarah Harmon. Sarah’s badly beaten body was found near the cliffs, on one of the running trails. Someone must have really hated her .. she was almost unrecognizable.
Talking to her parents, friends, Susan learns that the 19-year-old Sarah had a lot of secrets. She was engaged to Tommy with a wedding coming up in just a few months. However, the police find a one-way ticket to Vancouver. Sarah will never make this trip. She also had an abortion several years ago.
There are plenty of suspects to look at. Her father caused a lot of people to lose all their savings. Could one of his old clients want him to know what it was like to lose something of value?
Did her fiancée learn that Sarah was leaving him behind? Tommy’s cousin, Trudy, wanted Tommy for herself. Was she jealous enough to put Sarah out of the picture? And Tommy’s mother … she sees the lustful looks of her husband for Sarah.
And how does Sarah’s death relate to the death of Tommy’s birth mother many years ago?
The who-dun-it was good, in that I didn’t know who the killer was until the very end. The biggest problem I had was the way the story went back and forth between today and with a death years ago. There were times I couldn’t tell where I was. There was Tom, the father, and Tommy his son, and the younger Tom from the past. There were places the story sagged and I found myself skipping ahead a few pages.
That being said, I think Susan makes a great series character. I'm looking forward to seeing where she turns up next.
