Mindy McLaurin is incarcerated for a crime she didn't commit. While stuck in prison, waiting to be cleared of the charges, Mindy stumbles upon a mystery when her cellmate suddenly dies of an overdose. Soon Mindy finds herself a suspect in her cellmate's murder. The only person who believes in her innocence is Counselor Drew Stone. Drew seems trustworthy, but how can Mindy be certain. Clearly someone inside the prison was involved. And that someone is trying to frame her. Mindy must uncover the murderer to clear her name, and to protect her life.K. Dawn Byrd has written another intriguing suspense with a vivid setting. Her research was evident by the detail she used in creating the prison atmosphere. The romance was very natural, and I liked the hero very much. I felt that Drew was a good compliment to Mindy's character. I felt for Mindy because it was obvious how out of place she was in the prison, and how terribly frightened she would have been. I think I actually breathed a sigh of relief for her when she was finally bailed out. And to my delight, that's when the real action began.I liked this book a lot, but I liked Queen of Hearts, her previous book, just a little bit more. That may just be my love of the WWII era though. Killing Time is a contemporary setting. I definitely recommend them both.
