Synopsis

After a humiliating mistake, lawyer Benjamin Booker resolves to never again trust a beautiful woman. When an old friend is killed, the senior partner isn't satisfied with Bow Street's efforts and asks Benjamin to investigate. Eager to leave London for a while, Benjamin agrees. Evidence takes him to a remote island on the Thames, a world unto itself, shrouded in mist and mystery. Soon he finds himself falling for the main suspect--a woman who claims not to have left the island in ten years. But should he trust her? On Belle Island, Isabelle feels safe and leads a productive life, but fear keeps her trapped there. When Mr. Booker arrives with news of her trustee's murder in London, Isabelle is stunned. She has not left the island, yet she has a recurring dream about the man's death. Or is it a memory? She had been furious with him, but she never intended . . . this. When a second person dies and evidence shockingly points to her, Isabelle doesn't know who to trust: the attractive lawyer or the admirer and friends who assemble on the island, each with grudges against the victim. Can she even trust her own mind? While they search for the truth, secrets come to light and danger comes calling.

Well, well, well I would consider this a cozy mystery and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Of course, the slow burn romance helped a lot too. Ben is a lawyer and discovers one of his partners dead.

I have read almost all of Julie Klassen's books and this has to be my favorite of all of them.

The story line was superb and I learned about Belle Island and River Thames , the ebb......more

Goodreads review by Maureen on November 29, 2019

The author kept me guessing, almost to the end, and thankfully a wonderful job is done to totally complete this read. Greed and Pride, and maybe more, but these come in to play, and end with murder, but who wanted this lawyer dead? When the facts begin to fall, the list grows, and really surprises ab......more
