Denial

"All I can say is our former Chief Justice of Canada has a vivid imagination and a golden pen. This book was a beautifully written novel that focused on what mattered to the case but with such detail and flawless penmanship ! There are several major plot shifts within the story that you never see coming and it just makes this book one of my favourites of the early fall novels I have reviewed. Prepare to have your mind blown.<br/><br/>I have to admit that I was not aware that this was the second book in the Jilly Truitt series but having said that you can pick up the book and not even know that you didn't read her first novel.<br/><br/>Jilly Truitt is a smart independent lawyer living in Western Canada's Vancouver metropolis. She is called by another top lawyer whose wife stands accused of murdering her dying mother. Has the anxiety and stress finally gotten to Vera Quintin and caused her to murder, was she just a sympathetic daughter helping to free her mother of the burden of the cruel pain that often accompanies the end stages of life, or is there another sinister plot at play? <br/><br/>Join Ms. Truitt as she pulls at the threads of the story and discovers what a tangled web has been woven. This book was so good I have gone back and purchased the first novel in the series to read - and I am now a Jilly Truitt/Beverley McLauchlin fan!!<br/><br/>Beverley McLachlin writes a lot like John Grisham in that you can see the movie in your head (and you just know that a movie should be coming to take advantage of the writing in this amazing novel!) The book is so easy to read but also provides the opportunities to learn new words and technical details - if you want to learn more about those things. I hope that Jilly Truitt continues to feature in Ms. McLachlin's future writing as I loved this book.<br/><br/>Thank you so much to author Beverley McLachlin, publisher Simon & Schuster, and NetGalley for the opportunity to provide an honest review of this book in return for a temporary ARC to read the novel."

"If your looking for a book with mystery, romance, and something that’ll keep you guessing this book is for you!"
