Date: 07 21, 2014
FBI Special Agent Jonah White does not believe the official determination of suicide in the death of his sister. He believes Eli Savantes killed her for the inheritance she received, but Eli turns up dead and all official action has stopped. Jonah does not accept this and decides to follow up on the only other connection, the wife of the man Jonah believes to be his sister’s killer.Maya Savantes, wife of Eli Savantes, has a daughter Lily who is five years old. She lives in Hills Creek, Texas, in a rundown house and is barely able to make ends meet. Surrounded by the loving inhabitants of the town, she is able to survive. Jonah’s investigation throws him into close contact with Maya and he is unable to keep her at arms-length as he should with a suspect.The author has written a romance born out of tragedy that will keep the reader interested with the various turns of events right through to the surprise ending. Jonah is a strong character and Maya is not so bad herself. Lily is far wiser at times than her age, but then so are many five-year-olds. The rest of the cast of characters have depth and add to the story.There were some problems with the story line in that some actions, to this reader, did not seem to be possible. Overall, the story held your interest and you wanted to turn the page to find out what happened next.
