Divorce can be murder . . . and divorce lawyers can get murdered.
I’m Kim DeLuca – assistant to Ollie Spalding, Connecticut’s most successful divorce lawyer.
I’m the one who keeps his empire running while he charms his way through every courtroom in the state.
Ollie isn’t just my boss. I was a foster kid – he’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to family. My mentor. My protector. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him.
He’s also the most feared divorce lawyer in the state. He took on people with money, power – and tempers that scared even the police.
Now he’s dead. And the police want to know who his enemies are.
He had more than I can count.
But I’ll find out who killed him.
Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, T.M. Logan, Patricia MacDonald and Shari Lapena
McGarvey studied voice at Manhattan School of Music and was later a theatre major in college. She pursued an acting career but later moved into a magazine and digital media career.
During that time, she sold advertising and managed sales teams for companies like
Conde Nast, WebMD and worked for brands including GQ, Travel + Leisure, and
Allure.
In between, she took a year off and backpacked alone around the world. Later, after having two children, she left media and became an executive recruiter for internet companies. In 2017, she began writing full time and has since published six novels.
My thoughts: When her boss, Ollie, is murdered Kim determines to help the police find his killer. At first she thinks that it could be the angry former spouses of one of their clients, Ollie was considered one of the best divorce lawyers in the state, and several of the unhappy parties have made threats.
As the police and Kim dig into the lives and connections of these threatening men (and women, but they seem to lack the wealth and connections needed), they narrow it down to two possibilities.
But as always the police must look closer to home as well, Ollie had two adult children and a younger wife. She has inherited a fortune, a fortune that just might be worth killing for….
Can Kim and the detective, Fitz, find out who killed Ollie and devastated his family, as well as Kim? Or will there be more victims?
Clever, with a huge twist, and some others along the way, I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. You will be too!
