Für mich war das nichts anderes als ein Teenager-Roman. Zu viele Pferde, zu viele Tierärzte, zu viel Geschnulze. ( )

Sally Montgomery, a divorced, 52-year-old preschool teacher, goes away with her neighbor, Frederick Pierson. She returns from a walk through the glorious autumnal trees to find Frederick on the floor of the living room. When she bends to help him, she is struck from behind. She awakens to find Frederick dead, and the house on fire. She runs into the woods, 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 veterinarian daughter and when she finds out about the attempt on her mother’s life, she contacts her father, Monty Montgomery, a former New York police detective, and currently a reluctant PI, to demand to assist him. Devon manages to worm her way into the Pierson family, using their combined grief as a vehicle. What she ends up finding out is that 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? As the suspense mounts, Devon’s ‘real’ life, that of a veterinarian intrudes into invesitigation and romance. Kane keeps the reader entertained and guessing until the very end ( )
