My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Elizabeth is a single mother of 2 struggling in her day to day life. She cheated on her husband resulting in a child that was not his causing them to divorce. Elizabeth knows she messed up and lives everyday living the consequences. Her ex-husband, still angry, is making things worse. Late with the child support cheque and letting his thoughts of his ex-wife known to their son. Elizabeth falls deeper and deeper into debt. She goes to a trunk show where a woman, named Louisa, is selling clothing in a pyramid scheme. Sounding too good to be true, Elizabeth falls for it. On her way to her first training session, she is met by police tape and the murder of Louisa. Elizabeth makes it her duty to solve the murder.
Trying to solve a murder, take care of a toddler by herself, protect her older son from bullies, an appearance of an ex, Elizabeth tries to do it all.
This book is the debut novel written by this author and it shows. The synopsis made the book sound really interesting and it was for the most part. The only downfall was it was very repetitive and felt like the author was just trying to fill the pages. It did not focus on the murder very often and then felt very rushed to close the case at the end of the book.
