Tainted by Marsha R West
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Elizabeth Hartman thought she had a near-perfect life: loving, successful husband, 2 children, a nice home, and the chance to volunteer to help those less fortunate than herself. But that all falls apart when her husband is arrested and convicted of money laundering. Hoping to escape the past, she and her daughter Liz travel from Fort Worth to Red River, New Mexico to spend their summer at their family cabin. But they just can’t seem to escape their past, which includes Liz’s high school boyfriend, Matt, who just happens to be the sheriff of Red River. Trying to stay away from the danger that seems to be following them, Liz also finds herself trying to avoid rekindling the flame with Matt.
Marsha West knows how to write a fantastic novel! Liz and Lauren, her daughter, are strong lead women characters, which is always a plus in any story. Matt is likeable, and Gerry, the ex-husband’s evil just seeps right off the pages of the story. Marsha draws the reader in and the mystery involved was a fun one! Definitely a 5 star read! Highly recommend!
