A murder victim grapples with her death as her sister and a detective search for her killer in this debut thriller by the author of The First Husband.

My name is Quinn Roberts, and I was murdered.

Quinn Roberts is dead and she wants to know how it happened. She’s angry, confused, and disappointed that her life is over. Most of her friends have moved on, and it seems like no one cares who was responsible. Her adult children are in shock, but their mother’s death is too painful, so they do nothing.

Soon after her murder, Quinn’s husband, Alec, marries another woman and Quinn becomes a distant memory. Only her sister, Erin, and Detective John McQuillan continue to search for answers.

But as the case stalls, the formal investigation is moved to the Cold Case division, and Quinn’s family loses hope that there will ever be an arrest.

Can Quinn get the justice she deserves? And is discovering the truth always worth it?
