Synopsis:
In the summer of 1952, Lillian Johnson was found dead in her
home, slumped in the wheelchair that had become her cage due to multiple
sclerosis. An overdose of barbiturate had triggered a heart attack, but the
scene was not quite right. It looked as though someone other than Lillian
herself had injected the fatal dose.
Dr. Kate Marlow, Lillian’s physician and best friend, now sits in the Round Rock city jail. The only country doctor for miles, Kate cannot remember her whereabouts at the time of Lillian’s death.
As Dr. Kate’s trial approaches, another woman is determined to uncover the truth about the night of Lillian’s death. Memphis reporter Shenandoah Coleman grew up in Round Rock on the wrong side of the tracks, but unlike the rest of her unsavory clan, escaped her destiny. Now, back in the town she grew up in, she’ll have to turn every stone to keep Kate from a guilty verdict.
Although the plot line was a bit predictable, I still enjoyed the journey. Interesting characters, well developed, held my interest yet still had questions at the end. A sequel maybe????
