A good portion of this book centered around finding the person responsible for a high profile murder and then the subsequent court trial. It was hard for me to put this book down at night as I wanted to know what would happen next. I definitely recommend this author as rarely does a book keep me as interested as this one did."A Wonderful Series Begins Here!The characters are well created and there is plenty of details to give this story the layers needed to keep one reading. The author has the ability to move the reader through the emotions being experienced, from love to anguish to feelings raked raw, the reader has his finger on the pulse of what is going on (said and unsaid) with each character."A beautiful tale of true love, devastating loss and the pain of rebuilding a new life from the emotional ashes."A Life Singular by Lorraine Pestell is an emotionally charged, eloquently written struggle of one man's journey through the steps of loss and grief when he loses his best friend and wife to a gunman's bullet.
