Francois returns to the town where he lost his wife and sister, and where his son currently resides. Haunted by ghosts of times past, guilt seems burned into his psyche. The only person who seems to know anything is the area psychic, Madame Leatherby, but she isn't exactly the sort you want to cozy up to over a cup of tea. She may know the answer to the secrets of the town, but you won't until the very end.Spent Lives offers both brilliant writing and mesmerizing characters who's lives and fates are constantly interconnecting with one another. It's a perfect curl up and read book for anyone who likes the nicer side of mystery novels, giving plenty of suspense but also a sweet dose of second chance romance. There are a number of stories playing out here, and Ballentine does a great job of keeping the threads from unraveling.
