This was a good mystery and loved the time period 1990. It me thinking of when I was during that time frame.
Maddie Dare finds a skull in her family cemetery and wants to have justice done. She is married to Dean and works for a book catalog company. Maddie becomes friends with cop and does all that she can do bring justice to the little boy.
Maddie mom becomes engaged and married for the 4th time and she finds out family secrets from her sister and she has some too.
This is my first time reading this author-- I found the swearing to be a bit much and a distraction from the real story.
