Between her abusive father and her own second sight, Tory Bodeen's childhood was nightmarish, except for her best friend and confidante, Hope. Then Hope was murdered. Years later, Tory returns to South Carolina, hoping to begin anew. Cade, Hope's older brother, is the only one welcoming her, but Tory is undeterred. Dean Robertson has a startlingly gruff, almost gritty voice, but she rises to the occasion with a variety of Southern drawls. Unfortunately, the story is hindered by a lack of suspense: the clues point to the obvious, but true tension is felt only in the final, 15th hour, when the obvious is disproved. The identity of the real murderer comes as a sad, unexpected shock, which puts a damper on the otherwise happy ending. Not Roberts at her best, but recommended for all public libraries.DJodi L.
