Linda Kavanagh’s second novel follows the same lines as her excellent debut, Love Hurts.

Joanna Brennan has just set up her own solicitor’s practice. One of her first jobs is to administer the will of her mother’s friend, Agnes, who has just suffered a serious heart attack. Agnes is about to reveal the reasoning behind some of her stranger bequests but she dies before she gets the chance.

In order to fulfil Agnes’ wishes, Joanna herself has to uncover the secrets behind the will’s bequests. Travelling back to a forgotten murder and a strange suicide, Joanna soon realises that nothing is what it should be.

Along her strange journey Joanna rekindles her friendship with Agnes’ son Tom and their relationship grows. When Joanna uncovers a dramatic truth that affects Tom she has to wrestle with her conscience to make the right decision.

Combining mystery with a traditional chick lit story, Linda Kavanagh once again has a winner on her hands.
