Thanks Netgalley for a free book to read and review.
Not my first book from this author, or my last. Really creepy crime/drama linking an over decade old case with a recent murder. I can not imagine having my head bashed in with a tire iron.....yuck.
Rachel is trying to get DNA looked at to try to free a man from jail for a crime he supposedly did not commit. Personally I think all DNA should be examined if there's a means to do it. Justice is not 100% accurate. Overall entertainment is three stars. I liked the book, but my tastes run more toward romance of some kind.

the mystery was mystery’ing, the suspense was suspense’ing, and the twists were twisting till the very end! romantic suspense done right and had me gasping at not one, not two, but at least four surprising reveals. no small feat.

The story was pretty good, but Rachel's character was beyond irritating. I understand she wanted to help Jeb and still felt guilty about her brother but her behavior was out of line. Also, I think there were too many characters involved in the crime. It was very messy. The romance was unnecessary and felt forced.
Not the best by this author but not terrible.

I wouldn’t call this book a romance-suspense-thriller. But it was a suspense thriller and it did get awfully weird and twisty at the end which I always appreciate. I was able to figure most things out by about 3/4 of the way through the book but there was still a nice surprise awaiting me.

Before I get into all of the good things about the book, let me tell you a few things that threw me a bit:
1) I have no idea where the title of this story came from, even after I read the book. I think that Mary Burton could have chosen a title that better described the story.
2) The cover of this book threw me for a loop by the end of the story. Again, even at the end of this story I had absolutely no idea where the idea for it came from.
3) This book was given to me as a Mystery/Thriller Romance, please be aware that there is very little romance involve in this story. So if you are really hoping for any kind of romantic relationship between characters, you might want to try another book.
After all of the above is mentioned, I'd like to say that I really enjoyed this novel. I was enthralled in this story and it kept me guessing the entire way through. I did have some high hopes for more of a romance between Rachel and Deke, but overall the story was good even without it. There is a wide variety of characters throughout the book and they all felt like real people. The dialogue flowed really nicely and felt authentic. However, my absolute favorite thing abut this book was how well Mary Burton crafted this story to give you just enough details to unravel the story without giving anything away until the very end. I wasn't able to solve the mystery until the very end, which was a HUGE bonus!
Overall I thought that this book was fabulous, and I will definitely keep my eyes out for more book by Mary Burton
