This is my first experience with this author and I so love this book.Gretchen has been living in Boston and has lost her job. Her 7 year relationship, no he still has not asked her to marry him, is going nowhere and he is a cheating liar. Yet, because of the length of time they have been together, she tends to excuse him and keep the relationship going. At this point, not too strong a lady our Gretchen. Then one morning, 3 a.m. to be exact, Gretchen gets a call from her Aunt Nina in AZ. Nina and her mother both live out there. Someone has been murdered and her mother is missing. Aunt Nina tells her she has to be on a 7 a.m. plane and her tickets have been prepaid. Gretchen starts packing. Her mother is near and dear to Gretchen's heart.Caroline, Gretchen's mother, has a doll repair and sales shop. She is expert in her field. Why did Caroline go missing? Is she dead or alive? Did she kill Martha and take off in fear of jail? No! Gretchen and Nina will not believe Caroline could do something like this. The police, Detective Matt who is Caroline's friends son, says they have Caroline as their number one suspect. Seems a witness can place Caroline at the scene of the crime. Nina and Gretchen still do not believe this and start trying to find out what is going on themselves. They will not leave it up to the police as their opinion has already been formed.As this story unfolds, you will see Gretchen's character get stronger and stronger. Some of the things she does to prove her mother's innocence are such she would never have imagined doing before. Ultimately, at the very end, you will see how Gretchen uses the word NO to prove she has come a long way.This story is well written. I usually let Kindle read aloud to me but this was so good I read it all myself. The book will grab you from the beginning and hold you to the end. The characters are believable.I would definitely recommend this book for about 15 on up.
