Book description
My name is Kinsey Millhone. I’m thirty-two years old, twice married,
no kids, currently unattached and likely to remain so given my
disposition, which is cautious at best . . .
Seventeen years had passed since Jean Timberlake’s body had been found
at the foot of the sea wall.
At the time, Bailey Fowler, an ex-boyfriend of hers, pleaded guilty to
voluntary manslaughter. Now he’d changed his tune.
Kinsey Millhone was called in to solve the case - then she stumbled on
the dark secrets of a family’s buried past . . .
