Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Sally Montgomery anticipated a romantic weekend getaway. What she got instead was a nightmare of unrelenting terror. The murder of her companion and the torching of their cabin sends Sally into hiding—from the police, who believe she's a suspect . . . and from the killer, who wants her dead.
Desperate and alone in the woods, Sally has nowhere to run and nowhere to turn—except to her ex-husband, former NYPD detective-turned-private investigator Pete Montgomery, and their daughter Devon, who inherited her father's investigative instincts. Devon's search for the truth takes her dangerously close to the powerful Pierson clan and its enigmatic heir apparent, Blake Pierson. But with Olympic show-jumping gold at stake and his family's empire threatened, whose side is Blake on? Time is quickly running out for Devon. Racing the clock, she must prove her mother's innocence and outmaneuver the killer before her tactics put her in the wrong place, and one more step will mean certain death.

This was my very first book by Andrea Kane, and I'm looking forward to reading more. I found the story to be very suspenseful. I never saw the culprit's identity coming, which is always a great thing in a suspense book.
I didn't care for how fast the relationship between Devon and Blake progressed, particularly with everything hanging over them. I thought the author should've slowed that whole thing down a bit, although I realize she only had a certain amount of time and pages to bring the relationship together. But, it just didn't come across as realistic or believable, in light of how close Blake was with his family, that he was so quick to switch sides.
I also couldn't stand the character of Monty. I found him to be arrogant, obnoxious and condescending, particularly to his children. He came across like he thought he was in charge of the whole world, barking orders to cops, other detective, his kids and ex-wife, and even his employers, the Piersons.
I look forward to more books by Andrea Kane.

This is a great book and for those who like to try and figure out who did it you can guess until almost the very end, with little clues here and there, if you get them. I thought it was written well and am looking forward to reading another book of hers.

I'm not going to write a plot summary since so many others on Amazon have already did it. I really enjoyed this book. I didn't know anything about show horses or competition jumping/riding. I like the idea of getting a wealthy family together and throwing in some mystery. I enjoyed how the main characters interacted and felt like you got a good picture of them. I've never read anything by Andrea Kane but I believe I will pick up some more of her romantic mysteries. I didn't like how the ending wrapped up in like 20 pages. I felt it left some things unexplained and wanted to find a happy ending for all the characters but other than that I would recommend this book to the romantic mystery readers out there.

Sally Montgomery accompanies Fredrick Pierson on a weekend getaway that turns horribly wrong and Fredrick ends up dead, and Sally is left for dead. She runs into the woods and manages to contact her ex-husband and begs him to help her. She has no idea who killed Pierson but she's scared.
Devon is Sally's daughter and when she finds out about the endeavor on her mother's life she reluctantly agrees to help her PI father with the investigation. She's a vet not a cop but she wants to bring her mother out of hiding so this looks to be the best choice. She will manage to worm her way into the Pierson family using their combined grief as a vehicle. What she ends up finding is she is drawn to the handsome Blake Pierson but he seems to have secrets and an agenda. Did he have something to do with his uncle's murder? Or does he know who is responsible. Has she fallen in love with the enemy or has she become the target of a killer?
Ms. Kane has penned a strong suspense who-dun nit read with a colorful cast of prospective suspects. I have been a long time fan of Ms. Kane's dating back to her wonderful historicals. She is a very adept storyteller who seems to be making the crossover to mainstream. Still she manages to include the romantic elements in her latest effort that her long time fans will hunger for. Ms. Kane is a must read if you are a fan of the suspense novel.

A heated conversation in a barn between the new man in her life and his father does not really register with Sally Montgomery, but she agrees to accompany wealthy widower Franklin Pierson to a mountain retreat. But when she returns from a walk, she finds Franklin dead, and is knocked out by the assailant, who sets fire to the house and flees.
Now Sally has gone into hiding fearing for her life, and calls on her ex-husband Pete, a former NYPD detective to help her. Hired by the Pierson family to protect his family, Pete gets veterinarian daughter Devon to reluctantly join him in the investigation into the wealthy Pierson family that leads to corruption, drugs, genetics research, and murder.
Devon manages to capture the attention of both prodigal grandsons, who vie for her attention. Though she finds Olympic equestrian hopeful James attractive, it is Blake that sets her pulse running. While James is traveling, she and Blake get more involved, as they work on opposite sides of the investigation.
While not as strong (in terms of plotting and suspense) as some of her previous novels, including the excellent "I'll be Watching You," author Kane captures the reader's attention and manages to do something that few authors can do - surprise us with the revelation of the killer.
