There are more surprises in store for Tal when it comes to June. Seems the very fancy diamond ring the not quite ex-husband gave June the night he was murdered is stolen Russian goods – probably from the Tzars. And the gun used to kill the no good, lying, dead almost ex-husband? Seems someone gave it to June the night after the murder and asked her to keep it until her dead almost ex-husband came to get it. Oh, and by the way, June has a married boyfriend in jail for hit and run (which he claims he didn't do!). Tal didn't know any of that. What else is she going to find out about June?

Then there's Travis – an old high school acquaintance of Tal's who's come home for reasons that aren't clear. Travis is a successful, sought after, highly-paid, portrait painter. And he wants to paint Tal. But he won't say why he's home. He's definitely interested in Tal. Why? Because of Tal, or to stay close to what Tal is finding out about June and her no account almost ex husband?

This book is not funny. It is not a cozy. There are no warm fuzzies here. But there are good characters, a solid story, and a book that leaves the reader wanting more.

I highly recommend this book. It is hard to put down once you start, so make sure you have time set aside to read when you start it.
