I liked this book better then the last one. It was more consistent and flowed well without the scatter shot narrative. The plot while good was slightly far fetched but all the ends were tied up in a way that makes it work and a few flash backs help fill in any gaps. The characters are well rounded, smart and funny but can reach into themselves to show empathy as well which comes across nicely to the reader. The pace was stead with a bit of pickup that worked well for a climax with a twist in it that I didn't see coming until the moment before it was presented. The dialogue was good with the exception that a conversation or two between more then two characters need a name of the speaker so you don't get mixed up as to who is imparting what information to whom. Over all a good story.

A woman at a nursing home has died and another insists that she was murdered even thought there is no evidence of foul play. When the body is looked over to pacify the friend of the woman it comes to light that her past and her currant finances might have something to do with her sudden death when it comes to light she didn't die of natural causes. An interesting web of interconnecting lives are upset and put at risk when the case goes on and is investigated. It becomes a cat and mouse game to see if the sheriff can solve the case before all his witnesses are eliminated and the past they know about it lost to time.
