An intriguing mystery. Jenna Hughes was a famous actress who after an accident on the set of her new movie, has quit the business. She moves with her two daughters to a small town in Oregon. They live on a ranch. Jenna and her daughters are adjusting to the non glamorous and slow life there. Then a body is discovered, which starts a string of things happening. And, to top it off; it appears Jenna has a stalker.
The book is long, and at times seems to bog down. There is a sequel.
