Dr. Kate English has it all. Not only is she the heiress to a large fortune; she has a gorgeous husband and daughter, a high-flying career, and a beautiful home anyone would envy. But all that changes the night Kate’s mother, Lily, is found dead, brutally murdered in her own home. In The Last Time I Saw You, Liv Constantine takes the lightning pace of The Last Mrs. Parrish and raises the stakes, creating an exquisitely tension-filled and absorbing tale of psychological suspense in which innocent lives—and one woman’s sanity—hang in the balance.
Hello mystery fans! I was able to find you a fair amount of interesting things to read and some awesome news announcements. I don’t have something new to watch this week–I am currently watching Sugar Rush and The Big Flower Fight–but I did get you a bunch of great Kindle deals that should keep you happily reading crime for a while.
