She read.

Following a birthday party with close friends in attendance, Jay, a psychologist, is found murdered.  His wife, Molly,  is distraught; he was her rock.  Was it a patient or someone close to him?  The police find a secret he was hiding, but his wife is hiding one also, and perhaps some of the friends?  When the death of a missing girl ties into the investigation, led by Boston detective Rita Myers, the mystery deepens.

Fast paced and engrossing, the story is told from alternating points of view, Molly’s and Rita’s. I thought the book started off a little shallow.  But, as it progressed, so did the depth of the story  With a solid, credible plot and well developed characters, this is a good read for mystery/police procedural lovers.  Kudos for a debut novel. Here’s hoping it may be the beginning of a series featuring Rita.
