My Thoughts
Murder, Family secrets, infidelity, betrayal, friendship, and a tragic past. This was a who done it with a whole Lot of suspects. What I liked best about this story was the relationship between the sisters and how their past tragedy had ties to the current murder. The bulk of the story is told from the perspective of Kate and while I did like her she wasnāt easy to get to know. This was a story that kept me guessing… Red herrings, miss directions, loads of secrets, and plenty of suspects. The setting of the book added a lot of intrigue to the story. I was completely hooked until the very end and then I was kind of let down. The ending while it caught me completely by surprise, I cannot for the life of me figure out why this person behave the way they did?

About the Book
SYNOPSIS: From celebrated New York Timesbestselling author Luanne Rice comes a riveting story of a seaside community shaken by a violent crime and a tragic loss.
Years ago, Beth Lathrop and her sister Kate suffered what they thought would be the worst tragedy of their lives the night both the famous painting Moonlight and their mother were taken. The detective assigned to the case, Conor Reid, swore to protect the sisters from then on.
Beth moved on, throwing herself fully into the art world, running the family gallery, and raising a beautiful daughter with her husband Pete. Kate, instead, retreated into herself and took to the skies as a pilot, always on the run. When Beth is found strangled in her home, and Moonlightgoes missing again, Detective Reid canāt help but feel a sense of dĆ©jĆ vu.
Reid immediately suspects Bethās husband, whose affair is a poorly kept secret. He has an airtight alibiābut he also has a motive, and the evidence seems to point to him. Kate and Reid, along with the sistersā closest childhood friends, struggle to make sense of Bethās death, but they only find more questions: Who else would have wanted Beth dead? Whatās the significance of Moonlight?
Twenty years ago, Reid vowed to protect Beth and Kateāand heās failed. Now solving the case is turning into an obsession . . .
