There is enough going on here to make it a good story even before the really intricate connections become clear. Protagonist Breecie Lemay leaves her big law-firm job and her hunk of a fiancé Adam, and travels to the small town to make arrangements to care for her father who has had a serious stroke. In the days and weeks that follow, Breecie recounts the reasons she and her father didn't get along, and the tragedy of her mother's death which she will always mourn. She also meets some of the most interesting characters I didn't expect to meet, and uncovers reason to suspect her mother didn't die the way everyone thinks she did.Anything more than that would be a spoiler, so I'll just say I enjoyed the story enough to stay connected (listening to the Audible.com edition)to finish it in one day. Good characters, good pace, enough description to let me 'see' it without boring me with an inventory of everything in sight. Good plot twists -- maybe could have ended a few scenes earlier, but then I don't need every string tied to be satisfied. Great entertainment.
